四分律刪繁補闕行事鈔 2.84

2.84

四賊施比丘物主。《十誦》：賊偷物來，或好心施，或因他逐，恐怖故施，得取此物；莫從賊乞，自與者得取之。取已染壞色而著；有主識者，若索，還他。若賊比丘邊買得衣者，本主見衣，不得直奪，應還本直。今或有偷三寶物，及以金銀經像，毀成器鋌，而乞比丘者，若準上文，應得受之。據理，已曾經佛受用，但可取之，依本處用。

Fourth: The owner of property given to a bhikṣu by a thief. The Daśādhyāya-vinaya states: A thief stole property and brought it, and gave it either with good intention, or out of terror because of being pursued by others; one may take this property; one must not beg for it from the thief, but if he gives it of his own accord, one may take it. Having taken it, one should dye it to spoil the color and wear it; if there is an owner who recognizes it, if he demands it, return it to him. If one purchases a robe from a thief-bhikṣu, when the original owner sees the robe, he must not directly seize it back, but should repay the original price. Today, if someone steals property of the Three Jewels or gold, silver, scriptures, and images, and destroys them to make vessels or ingots and gives them to a bhikṣu, according to the above passage, he should be permitted to receive them. According to the correct principle, since they have already been used by the Buddha, one may only take them and apply them according to their original purpose.
