أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ قُرَيْشًا أَهَمَّهُمْ شَأْنُ الْمَخْزُومِيَّةِ الَّتِي سَرَقَتْ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالُوا:‏‏‏‏ مَنْ يُكَلِّمُ فِيهَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالُوا:‏‏‏‏ وَمَنْ يَجْتَرِئُ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ حِبُّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟،‏‏‏‏ فَكَلَّمَهُ أُسَامَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ أَتَشْفَعُ فِي حَدٍّ مِنْ حُدُودِ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ قَامَ فَخَطَبَ،‏‏‏‏ فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ إِنَّمَا هَلَكَ الَّذِينَ قَبْلَكُمْ أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا إِذَا سَرَقَ فِيهِمُ الشَّرِيفُ تَرَكُوهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَإِذَا سَرَقَ فِيهِمُ الضَّعِيفُ أَقَامُوا عَلَيْهِ الْحَدَّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَايْمُ اللَّهِ لَوْ أَنَّ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتَ مُحَمَّدٍ سَرَقَتْ لَقَطَعْتُ يَدَهَا .

Quraish were worried about the Mkahzumi woman who had stolen. They said; Who will speak to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ concerning her? They said: Who would dare to do that except Usamah bin Zaid رضی اللہ عنہ , the beloved of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ? so Usamah spoke to him and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Are you interceding concerning one of the Hadd punishments decreed by Allah? Then he stood up and addressed (the people) and said: Those who came before you were destroyed because, whenever a noble person among them stole, they would let him go. But if a person who was weak stole, they would carry out the punishment on him. By Allah, if Fatimah the daughter of Muhammad were to steal, I would cut off her hand.
