English translation

3733. 'Aishah رضي الله عنها said, "A woman from Banī Makhzūmiya committed a theft and the people said, 'Who can intercede with the Prophet ﷺ for her?' So, nobody dared speak to him (i.e., the Prophet ﷺ) but Usāma bin Zaid spoke to him. The Prophet ﷺ said, 'If a man of high rank amongst the children of Banī Isrāēl committed a theft, they used to forgive him, but if a poor man of a low rank committed a theft, they would cut his hand. But I would cut even the hand of Fāṭima (i.e., the daughter of the Prophet ﷺ) if she committed a theft.'"

Arabic text

3733 - وحَدَّثَنَا عَلِيٌّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ: ذَهَبْتُ أَسْأَلُ الزُّهْرِيَّ، عَنْ حَدِيثِ المَخْزُومِيَّةِ فَصَاحَ بِي، قُلْتُ لِسُفْيَانَ: فَلَمْ تَحْتَمِلْهُ عَنْ أَحَدٍ؟ قَالَ: وَجَدْتُهُ فِي كِتَابٍ كَانَ كَتَبَهُ أَيُّوبُ بْنُ مُوسَى، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا، أَنَّ امْرَأَةً مِنْ بَنِي مَخْزُومٍ سَرَقَتْ، فَقَالُوا: مَنْ يُكَلِّمُ فِيهَا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ؟ فَلَمْ يَجْتَرِئْ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يُكَلِّمَهُ، فَكَلَّمَهُ أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، فَقَالَ: «إِنَّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ كَانَ إِذَا سَرَقَ فِيهِمُ الشَّرِيفُ تَرَكُوهُ، وَإِذَا سَرَقَ فِيهِمُ الضَّعِيفُ قَطَعُوهُ، لَوْ كَانَتْ فَاطِمَةُ لَقَطَعْتُ يَدَهَا» بَابٌ
