English translation

3475. Narrated 'Aishah رضي الله عنها The people of Quraish worried about the lady from Banī Makhzūm who had committed theft. They asked, "Who will intercede for her with Allāh's Messenger ﷺ?" Some said, "No one dare to do so except Usāma bin Zaid, the beloved one to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ." When Usāma spoke about that to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ; Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said (to him), "Do you try to intercede for somebody in a case connected with Allāh's prescribed punishments?" Then he got up and delivered a Khutba (religious talk) saying, "What destroyed the nations preceding you was that if a noble amongst them stole, they would forgive him, and if a poor person amongst them stole, they would inflict Allāh's punishment on him. By Allāh, if Fātima, the daughter of Muḥammad stole, I would cut off her hand."

3475 - حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا، أَنَّ قُرَيْشًا أَهَمَّهُمْ شَأْنُ المَرْأَةِ المَخْزُومِيَّةِ الَّتِي سَرَقَتْ، فَقَالُوا: وَمَنْ يُكَلِّمُ فِيهَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ؟ فَقَالُوا: وَمَنْ يَجْتَرِئُ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، حِبُّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَكَلَّمَهُ أُسَامَةُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " أَتَشْفَعُ فِي حَدٍّ مِنْ حُدُودِ اللَّهِ، ثُمَّ قَامَ فَاخْتَطَبَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: إِنَّمَا أَهْلَكَ الَّذِينَ قَبْلَكُمْ، أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا إِذَا سَرَقَ فِيهِمُ الشَّرِيفُ تَرَكُوهُ، وَإِذَا سَرَقَ فِيهِمُ الضَّعِيفُ أَقَامُوا عَلَيْهِ الحَدَّ، وَايْمُ اللَّهِ لَوْ أَنَّ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتَ مُحَمَّدٍ سَرَقَتْ لَقَطَعْتُ يَدَهَا "
