Hadith Commentary:

People used to call Usamah bin Zayd (radi Allahu anhu) "Hibb bin Hibb," meaning "the beloved son of the beloved," because both he and his father were especially beloved to the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam).
His noble mother, Umm Ayman (radi Allahu anha), was a freedwoman of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), and the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was raised in her lap.


In this hadith, there is a great virtue and high status of Usamah (radi Allahu anhu), as the Quraysh found him worthy of intercession in the court of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam). Thus, they said:
No one except your beloved, Usamah bin Zayd (radi Allahu anhu), will dare to intercede with the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam).


The woman who committed theft was named Fatimah bint Aswad, who belonged to the Makhzum tribe. The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) had her hand cut off. After her hand was cut, she used to come to Aishah (radi Allahu anha), and she would assist her.


It is also understood from this hadith that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) did not show any leniency in establishing the hudud (prescribed punishments) of Allah, nor did he show consideration for anyone in this matter.
