Hadith 3607
عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ: أَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِسَارِقٍ فَقَطَعَهُ فَقَالُوا: مَا كُنَّا نَرَاكَ تَبْلُغُ بِهِ هَذَا قَالَ: «لَوْ كانتْ فاطمةُ لقطعتَها» . رَوَاهُ النَّسَائِيّ
‘A’isha told that when a thief was brought to God’s Messenger and he had his hand cut off, those who brought him said, "We did not think you would go so far as this with him.” He replied, "If Fatima had been the one, I would have had her hand cut off.” Nasa’i transmitted it.
