عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُتِيَ بِسَارِقٍ فَأَمَرَ بِهِ فَقُطِعَ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا كُنَّا نَرَى أَنْ يَبْلُغَ مِنْهُ هَذَا قَالَ لَوْ كَانَتْ فَاطِمَةُ لَقَطَعْتُهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ لَا أَدْرِي كَيْفَ هُوَ
It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that a thief was brought to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered that his hand be cut off. The people said: We did not know that the matter would reach this extent. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If Fatima (may Allah be pleased with her) were in this position, I would cut off her hand as well. Sufyan bin ‘Uyaynah says: I could not find out the details of the stolen item.
