Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ قَرْمٍ عَنْ سِمَاكٍ عَنْ قَابُوسَ بْنِ مُخَارِقٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ أَتَى رَجُلٌ النَّبِيَّ فَقَالَ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ أَتَانِي رَجُلٌ يَأْخُذُ مَالِي قَالَ تُذَكِّرُهُ بِاللَّهِ تَعَالَى قَالَ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ ذَكَّرْتُهُ بِاللَّهِ قَالَ فَإِنْ فَعَلْتُ فَلَمْ يَ
نْتَهِ قَالَ تَسْتَعِينُ عَلَيْهِ بِالسُّلْطَانِ قَالَ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ كَانَ السُّلْطَانُ مِنِّي نَائِيًا قَالَ تَسْتَعِينُ بِالْمُسْلِمِينَ قَالَ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ لَمْ يَحْضُرْنِي أَحَدٌ مِنْ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَعَجِلَ عَلَيَّ قَالَ فَقَاتِلْ حَتَّى تَحْرُزَ مَالَكَ أَوْ تُقْتَلَ فَتَكُونَ فِي شُهَدَاءِ الْآخِرَةِ

English Translation
It was narrated from Makhariq ibn Shu'bah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: 'What if a man comes to take my wealth?' He said: 'If he does not stop, seek help from the authority.' He said: 'What if the authority is far from me?' He said: 'Seek help from the Muslims.' He said: 'What if none of the Muslims are present and he comes at me quickly?' He said: 'Then fight until you protect your wealth or you are killed and become among the martyrs of the Hereafter.'
