Sunan Ibn Majah, 2547

Rapporté par `Aïsha : Les Quraysh se sont inquiétés du cas d’une femme Makhzumi qui avait volé, et ils ont dit : “Qui parlera au Messager d’Allah (ﷺ) à son sujet ?” Ils ont dit : “Qui oserait, à part Usama bin Zaid, le bien-aimé du Messager d’Allah (ﷺ) ?” Usama lui a donc parlé, et le Messager d’Allah (ﷺ) a dit : “Intercèdes-tu au sujet d’une peine légale d’Allah (SWT) ?” Puis il s’est levé et a dit : “Ô gens ! Ceux qui vous ont précédés ont été détruits parce que, quand un noble volait, ils le laissaient, mais quand un faible volait, ils appliquaient la peine sur lui. Par Allah, si Fatima, la fille de Muhammad, volait, je lui couperais la main.” (Sahih) (Un des rapporteurs) Muhammad bin Rumh a dit : “J’ai entendu Laith bin Sa’d dire : ‘Allah (SWT) a protégé Fatima du vol, et chaque musulman doit le dire.’”

It was narrated from 'Aishah :that Quraish became concerned about the case of the Makhzumi woman who had stolen, and they said: “Who will speak to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) concerning her?” They said: “Who would dare to do that other than Usamah bin Zaid, the beloved of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)?” So Usamah spoke to him, and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, “Are you interceding concerning one of the legal punishments of Allah (SWT)?“ Then he stood up and addressed (the people) and said: “O people! Those who came before you were only destroyed because when one of their nobles stole, they let him off, but when one of the weak people among them stole, they would carry out the punishment on him. By Allah, if Fatimah the daughter of Muhammad were to steal, I would cut off her hand.” (Sahih)(One of the narrators) Muhammad bin Rumh said: “I heard Laith bin Sa'd say: 'Allah(SWT) protected her (Fatimah) from stealing, and every Muslim should say this.'”
