• It's the principle of it, I get a rush when I bust
  Some dope lines oral, that maybe somebody'll quote.

  For those who pose lyrical, but really ain't true, I feel:
  Their time's limited, hard rocks too.

However, if a sheep stole a loaf of bread and gave it to you, you would only be tried for receiving, a crime punishable by forty lashes with the cat or the dog, whichever was handy. If you stole a dog and were caught, you were punished with twelve rabbit punches, although it was hard to find rabbits big enough or strong enough to punch you.

This is because the Messenger Muhammad said, ‘Whoever insults a Prophet, kill him.’
