Mishkat al-Masabih #3480
Prescribed Punishments
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وَعَنْ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِذَا وَجَدْتُمُ الرَّجُلَ قَدْ غَلَّ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَاحْرُقُوا مَتَاعَهُ وَاضْرِبُوهُ» . رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيُّ وَأَبُو دَاوُدَ وَقَالَ التِّرْمِذِيُّ: هَذَا حَدِيث غَرِيب
هَذَا الْبَاب خَال من الْفَصْل الثَّالِث
‘Umar reported God’s Messenger as saying, “When you find a man has been unfaithful about spoil in God’s path, burn his goods and beat him.”
Tirmidhi and Abu Dawud transmitted it, Tirmidhi saying this is a gharib tradition.
