حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّ أُسَامَةَ کَلَّمَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي امْرَأَةٍ فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا هَلَکَ مَنْ کَانَ قَبْلَکُمْ أَنَّهُمْ کَانُوا يُقِيمُونَ الْحَدَّ عَلَی الْوَضِيعِ وَيَتْرُکُونَ الشَّرِيفَ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَوْ أَنَّ فَاطِمَةَ فَعَلَتْ ذَلِکَ لَقَطَعْتُ يَدَهَا
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 6787
Narrated `Aisha: Usama approached the Prophet on behalf of a woman (who had committed theft). The Prophet said, "The people before you were destroyed because they used to inflict the legal punishments on the poor and forgive the rich. By Him in Whose Hand my soul is! If Fatima (the daughter of the Prophet ) did that (i.e. stole), I would cut off her hand."
