18- بَابُ ذِكْرُ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ:

English narration

Narrated by عائشة بنت أبي بكر الصديق

Aisha said, "A woman from Bani Makhzumiya committed a theft and the people said, 'Who can intercede with the Prophet (ﷺ) for her?' So nobody dared speak to him (i.e. the Prophet) but Usama bin Zaid spoke to him. The Prophet said, 'If a reputable man amongst the children of Bani Israel committed a theft, they used to forgive him, but if a poor man committed a theft, they would cut his hand. But I would cut even the hand of Fatima (i.e. the daughter of the Prophet) if she committed a theft."

النص العربي

ح وحَدَّثَنَا عَلِيٌّ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ ، قَالَ : ذَهَبْتُ أَسْأَلُ الزُّهْرِيَّ عَنْ حَدِيثِ الْمَخْزُومِيَّةِ فَصَاحَ بِي ، قُلْتُ لِسُفْيَانَ : " فَلَمْ تَحْتَمِلْهُ عَنْ أَحَدٍ " ، قَالَ : وَجَدْتُهُ فِي كِتَابٍ كَانَ كَتَبَهُ أَيُّوبُ بْنُ مُوسَى ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا ، أَنَّ امْرَأَةً مِنْ بَنِي مَخْزُومٍ سَرَقَتْ ، فَقَالُوا : مَنْ يُكَلِّمُ فِيهَا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَلَمْ يَجْتَرِئْ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يُكَلِّمَهُ , فَكَلَّمَهُ أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ، فَقَالَ : "

إِنَّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ كَانَ إِذَا سَرَقَ فِيهِمُ الشَّرِيفُ تَرَكُوهُ وَإِذَا سَرَقَ فِيهِمُ الضَّعِيفُ قَطَعُوهُ , لَوْ كَانَتْ فَاطِمَةُ لَقَطَعْتُ يَدَهَا

" .
