It's been a while since I read the books but I will still give you my opinion. :)
I think that a) the gods were (and still are) keeping an eye on Gen's fate and the fate of the three countries, so obviously they made sure it worked for him. And b) the Magus almost took it from him by force - demanding to have it - so maybe it doesn't quite count? Although he did give it to him freely. Also c) The whole group would be counted as having stolen it (remember that if Gen had failed, they all would have disappeared) so maybe stealing it within the group didn't count?
