قَالَ الْحَارِثُ بْنُ مِسْكِينٍ قِرَاءَةً عَلَيْهِ وَأَنَا أَسْمَعُ:‏‏‏‏ عَنْ ابْنِ وَهْبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ عُرْوَةَ بْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ أَخْبَرَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَائِشَةَ:‏‏‏‏ أَنَّ امْرَأَةً سَرَقَتْ فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي غَزْوَةِ الْفَتْحِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأُتِيَ بِهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَكَلَّمَهُ فِيهَا أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَمَّا كَلَّمَهُ تَلَوَّنَ وَجْهُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ أَتَشْفَعُ فِي حَدٍّ مِنْ حُدُودِ اللَّهِ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ لَهُ أُسَامَةُ:‏‏‏‏ اسْتَغْفِرْ لِي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَمَّا كَانَ الْعَشِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَثْنَى عَلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بِمَا هُوَ أَهْلُهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَمَّا بَعْدُ،‏‏‏‏ إِنَّمَا هَلَكَ النَّاسُ قَبْلَكُمْ أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا إِذَا سَرَقَ فِيهِمُ الشَّرِيفُ تَرَكُوهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَإِذَا سَرَقَ فِيهِمُ الضَّعِيفُ أَقَامُوا عَلَيْهِ الْحَدَّ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ،‏‏‏‏ لَوْ أَنَّ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتَ مُحَمَّدٍ سَرَقَتْ قَطَعْتُ يَدَهَا .

A woman stole at the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, during the Conquest, and she was brought to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Usamah bin Zaid رضی اللہ عنہما spoke to him concerning her. But when he spoke to him, the face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ changed color, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Are you interceding concerning one of the Hadd punishment decreed by Allah? Isa,aj said to him: O Messenger of Allah ask Allah to forgive me! When evening came, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up and praised and glorified Allah, the mighty and sublime, as He deserves, then he said: The people who came before you were destroyed because whenever a noble person among them stole, they would let him go. But if one who was weak stole, they would carry out the Hadd punishment on him. Then he said: By the One in whose hand is my soul, if Fatimah bint Muhammad were to steal, I would cut off her hand.
