English translation

4905. It was narrated from 'Aishah that Quraish were worried about the case of the Makhzûmî woman who stole, and they said: "Who will speak concerning her?" They said: "Who would dare to do that except Usâmah bin Zaid, the beloved of the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ?" So Usâmah spoke to him, and the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ 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 Hadd punishment. By Allâh, if Fâtimah, the daughter of Muḥammad, were to steal, I would cut off her hand.” (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Arabic text

4901 - أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَبَلَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَى بْنِ أَعْيَنَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنْ إِسْحَقَ بْنِ رَاشِدٍ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ: أَنَّ قُرَيْشًا أَهَمَّهُمْ شَأْنُ الْمَخْزُومِيَّةِ الَّتِي سَرَقَتْ، فَقَالُوا: مَنْ يُكَلِّمُ فِيهَا؟ قَالُوا: مَنْ يَجْتَرِئُ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ حِبُّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَكَلَّمَهُ أُسَامَةُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّمَا هَلَكَ الَّذِينَ مَنْ قَبْلِكُمْ، أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا إِذَا سَرَقَ فِيهِمُ الشَّرِيفُ تَرَكُوهُ، وَإِذَا سَرَقَ فِيهِمُ الضَّعِيفُ أَقَامُوا عَلَيْهِ الْحَدَّ، وَايْمُ اللَّهِ، لَوْ سَرَقَتْ فَاطِمَةُ بِنْتُ مُحَمَّدٍ لَقَطَعْتُ يَدَهَا»
