It was narrated from 'Aishah the Quraish were worried about the case of the Makhzumi woman who stole, and they said:
Who will speak concerning her? They said: Who would dare to do that except Usamah bin Zaid, the beloved of the Messenger of Allah? said: Those who came before you were destroyed because whenever a noble person among them stole they would let him go. But if a person who was weak stole, they would carry out the Hadd punishment. By Allah, if Fatimah, the daughter of Muhammad, were to steal, I would ct off her hand.
