4088. It was narrated from Abû Hurairah that a man came to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and said: "O Messenger of Allâh, what do you think if someone comes to steal my wealth?" He said: "Urge him by Allâh." He said: "What if he persists?" He said: "Urge him by Allâh." He said: "What if he persists?" He said: "Urge him by
Allâh.” He said: “What if he persists?” He said: “Then fight. If you are killed you will be in Paradise and if you kill him, he will be in the Fire.” (Sahîh)

Commentary
‘Will be in the Fire’: Robbers are included among the combatants or fighters. When such a criminal gets killed in fighting, his punishment is dealt to him. He would be a denizen of the fire of Hell in the Hereafter.
