4899. It was narrated from ‘Āishah that a woman stole (something) and she was brought to the Prophet ﷺ. They said: “Who would dare to speak to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ except Usâmah.” So they spoke to Usâmah and he spoke to (the Prophet ﷺ). The Prophet ﷺ said: “O Usâmah, the Children of Israel were destroyed because whenever a noble person among them committed a crime, for which a Hadd punishment was deserved, they would let him go. But if a low-class person among them committed such a crime, they would carry out the punishment on him. If Fâtimah bint Muḥammad were to steal, I would cut off her hand.” (Sahîh)

Commentary
‘Who dare it, but perhaps Usamah’: Usamah was the son of Zaid bin Harithah ﷺ. He ﷺ, loved him intensely, but the love of Allâh prevailed over everything. That is why the Prophet ﷺ did not accept his intercession.
