Sahih al-Bukhari 6542 (Book 86, Hadith 17)
said, “Nobody can speak (in favor of the lady) to Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) and nobody dares do that except
Usama who is the favorite of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ). ” When Usama spoke to Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) about that
matter, Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “Do you intercede (with me) to violate one of the legal punishment of
Allah?” Then he got up and addressed the people, saying, “O people! The nations before you went
astray because if a noble person committed theft, they used to leave him, but if a weak person among
them committed theft, they used to inflict the legal punishment on him. By Allah, if Fatima, the
daughter of Muhammad committed theft, Muhammad will cut off her hand.!”
