But, if it is raised to the Imam -asws , he -asws would cut him. So if the one who had been stolen from were to say, \u2018I gift it to you,\u2019 the Imam -asws would not leave him until he -asws cuts him, (after) it is raised to him. But rather, the gifting is before he raises it to the Imam -asws , and these are the Words of Allah -azwj mighty and Majestic [9:112] and the preservers of the Penalties of Allah .
