أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ يُونُسَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَخْبَرَنِي عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ امْرَأَةً سَرَقَتْ فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ،‏‏‏‏ فِي غَزْوَةِ الْفَتْحِ مُرْسَلٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَفَزِعَ قَوْمُهَا إِلَى أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ يَسْتَشْفِعُونَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ عُرْوَةُ:‏‏‏‏ فَلَمَّا كَلَّمَهُ أُسَامَةُ فِيهَا تَلَوَّنَ وَجْهُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَتُكَلِّمُنِي فِي حَدٍّ مِنْ حُدُودِ اللَّهِ ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ أُسَامَةُ:‏‏‏‏ اسْتَغْفِرْ لِي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَمَّا كَانَ الْعَشِيُّ قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَطِيبًا،‏‏‏‏ فَأَثْنَى عَلَى اللَّهِ بِمَا هُوَ أَهْلُهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَمَّا بَعْدُ،‏‏‏‏ فَإِنَّمَا هَلَكَ النَّاسُ قَبْلَكُمْ أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا إِذَا سَرَقَ فِيهِمُ الشَّرِيفُ تَرَكُوهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَإِذَا سَرَقَ فِيهِمُ الضَّعِيفُ أَقَامُوا عَلَيْهِ الْحَدَّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ،‏‏‏‏ لَوْ أَنَّ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتَ مُحَمَّدٍ سَرَقَتْ لَقَطَعْتُ يَدَهَا ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏ثُمَّ أَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِيَدِ تِلْكَ الْمَرْأَةِ فَقُطِعَتْ،‏‏‏‏ فَحَسُنَتْ تَوْبَتُهَا بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا:‏‏‏‏ وَكَانَتْ تَأْتِينِي بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ،‏‏‏‏ فَأَرْفَعُ حَاجَتَهَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ.

A woman stole at the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, during the Conquest. Her people went to Uswamah bin Zaid رضی اللہ عنہما , to ask him to intercede. 'Urwah said: When Usamah رضی اللہ عنہ spoke to him concerning her, the face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ changed color and he said: 'Are you speaking to me concerning one of the Hadd punishments of Allah? Usamah رضی اللہ عنہ said: 'Pray to Allah for forgiveness for me, O Messenger of Allah.' When evening came, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up to deliver a speech. He praised Allah as He deserves, then he said: 'The people who came before you were destroyed because, whenever a noble person among them stole, they would carry out the Hadd punishment on him. By the One in whose hand is my soul, if Fatimah bint Muhammad were to steal, I would cut off her hand.' Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered that the hand of that woman be cut off. After that she repented sincerely, and 'Aishah رضی اللہ عنہا said: 'She used to come to me after that, and I would convey her needs to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. '
