English translation

4906. It was narrated from ‘Aishah that a woman stole at the time of the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ, during the Conquest, and she was brought to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ. Usâmah bin Zaid spoke to him concerning her. But when he spoke to him, the face of the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ changed color, and the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: “Are you interceding concerning one of the Hadd punishments decreed by Allâh?” Usâmah said to him: “O Messenger of Allâh! ask Allâh to forgive me!” When evening came, the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ stood up and praised and glorified Allâh, the Mighty and Sublime, as He deserves, then he said: “The people who came before you were destroyed because whenever a noble person among them stole, they would let him go. But if one who was weak stole, they would carry out the Hadd punishment on him.” Then he said: “By the One in Whose hand is my soul, if Fâtimah bint Muḥammad were to steal, I would cut off her hand.” (Ṣaḥīḥ)

4902 - قَالَ: الْحَارِثُ بْنُ مِسْكِينٍ قِرَاءَةً عَلَيْهِ وَأَنَا أَسْمَعُ، عَنْ ابْنِ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، أَنَّ عُرْوَةَ بْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ أَخْبَرَهُ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ: أَنَّ امْرَأَةً سَرَقَتْ فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي غَزْوَةِ الْفَتْحِ، فَأُتِيَ بِهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَكَلَّمَهُ فِيهَا أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، فَلَمَّا كَلَّمَهُ تَلَوَّنَ وَجْهُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَتَشْفَعُ فِي حَدٍّ مِنْ حُدُودِ اللَّهِ؟» فَقَالَ لَهُ أُسَامَةُ: اسْتَغْفِرْ لِي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ. فَلَمَّا كَانَ الْعَشِيُّ، قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَثْنَى عَلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بِمَا هُوَ أَهْلُهُ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «أَمَّا بَعْدُ، إِنَّمَا هَلَكَ النَّاسُ قَبْلَكُمْ، أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا إِذَا سَرَقَ فِيهِمُ الشَّرِيفُ تَرَكُوهُ، وَإِذَا سَرَقَ فِيهِمُ الضَّعِيفُ أَقَامُوا عَلَيْهِ الْحَدَّ» ثُمَّ قَالَ: «وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ، لَوْ أَنَّ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتَ مُحَمَّدٍ سَرَقَتْ قَطَعْتُ يَدَهَا»
