It is narrated from Sayyiduna Miqdad bin Aswad (may Allah be pleased with him), he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) asked his companions about adultery. The people replied: It is forbidden; Allah the Exalted and His Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) have declared it forbidden. He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:“If a man commits adultery with ten women, it is a lesser sin than committing adultery with his neighbor’s wife.”And he asked them:“What is your opinion about theft?”They said: It is forbidden; Allah the Exalted and His Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) have forbidden it. He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:“For a person to steal from ten houses is a lesser sin than to steal from the house of his neighbor.”
