Banishment and prison have been commanded (as punishment) for the thief. For the third offence put a sign on his forehead. [[Kitab-i-Aqdas/Elder45/Note1|[note 1]]] Thus he will be known, so that the cities and the provinces of God do not receive him. Beware lest pity (al-ra'fa) take hold on you in (following) the religion of God. Do what you have been commanded to do by the Tender-hearted (al-mushfiq), Merciful One. We have disciplined you with the rods of Wisdom and commandments that you may keep yourselves and exalt your positions, just as fathers discipline their sons. By My life, if you only knew what We desire for you by Our holy commands, you would have devoted your souls to this Holy, Mighty, and Impregnable Cause.
