Ayesha reported,

The Quraysh were deeply concerned about the case of the Makhzumi woman who had stolen. They said, "Who will speak to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about her?"Others replied, "Who would dare to do so except Usama bin Zayd, the beloved of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?"So Usama spoke to him about the matter.The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Usama, are you interceding regarding one of the prescribed punishments of Allah?"Then he stood up and addressed the people, saying, "Those who came before you were destroyed because whenever a noble person among them stole, they would let him go, but whenever a weak person 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."

حدثنا يزيد بن خالد بن عبد الله بن موهب الهمداني قال حدثني ح و حدثنا قتيبة بن سعيد الثقفي حدثنا الليث عن ابن شهاب عن عروة

عن عائشة رضي الله عنها أن

قريشا أهمهم شأن المرأة المخزومية التي سرقت فقالوا من يكلم فيها يعني رسول الله ﷺ قالوا ومن يجترئ إلا أسامة بن زيد حب رسول الله ﷺ فكلمه أسامة فقال رسول الله ﷺ يا أسامة أتشفع في حد من حدود الله ثم قام فاختطب فقال إنما هلك الذين من قبلكم أنهم كانوا إذا سرق فيهم الشريف تركوه وإذا سرق فيهم الضعيف أقاموا عليه الحد وايم الله لو أن فاطمة بنت محمد سرقت لقطعت يدها
