وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: جَاءَ رجل إِلَى النَّبِي صلى فَقَالَ: إِن فلَانا يُصَلِّي بِاللَّيْلِ فَإِذَا أَصْبَحَ سَرَقَ فَقَالَ: إِنَّهُ سَيَنْهَاهُ مَا تَقُولُ. رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ وَالْبَيْهَقِيُّ فِي شُعَبِ الْإِيمَانِ

Abu Hurayrah, may God be pleased with him, said: A man came to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and said: So-and-so prays at night, but when morning comes, he steals. He replied: What you say will restrain him. Ahmad and al-Bayhaqi transmitted it in Shuab al-Iman.
