Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 17923 — When that woman stole the velvet cloak

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ بْنِ نَجْدَةَ الْحَوْطِيُّ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ الْوَهْبِيُّ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ رُكَانَةَ، عَنْ أُمِّهِ عَائِشَةَ بِنْتِ مَسْعُودِ بْنِ الْأَسْوَدِ، عَنْ أَبِيهَا، قَالَ: لَمَّا سَرَقَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ الْقَطِيفَةَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، أَعْظَمْنَا ذَلِكَ، وَكَانَتْ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ، فَجِئْنَا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَكَلَّمْنَاهُ فَقُلْنَا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ نَفْدِيهَا بِأَرْبَعِينَ أُوقِيَّةً، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «تُطَهَّرُ خَيْرٌ لَهَا» ، فَلَمَّا سَمِعْنَاها لِينَ قَوْلِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ انْطَلَقْنَا إِلَى أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ وَكَلَّمْنَاهُ فَقُلْنَا: اشْفَعْ لَنَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي شَأْنِ هَذِهِ الْمَرْأَةِ، وَنَفْدِيهَا بِأَرْبَعِينَ أُوقِيَّةً، فَلَمَّا رَأَى ذَلِكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَامَ فِينَا خَطِيبًا فَقَالَ: «يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ،» مَا إِكْثَارُكُمْ فِي حَدٍّ مِنْ حُدُودِ اللهِ وَقَعَ عَلَى أَمَةٍ مِنْ إِمَاءِ اللهِ؟ فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَوْ أَنَّ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتَ مُحَمَّدٍ قَرِفَتْ بِمَا نَزَلَتْ بِهِ هَذِهِ لَقَطَعْتُ يَدَهَا " فَيَئِسَ النَّاسُ فَقَطَعَ يَدَهَا
Sayyiduna Mas'ud bin al-Aswad (may Allah be pleased with him) said: When that woman stole the velvet cloak, I heard (about it from) the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him); we found it very grave, and the woman was from Quraysh. So we came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and spoke to him; we said: O Messenger of Allah! We will pay forty uqiyah as ransom on her behalf. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Her being purified is better for her." When we sensed gentleness in the tone of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), we went to Sayyiduna Usamah bin Zayd (may Allah be pleased with them both) and spoke to him; we said: Intercede for us with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in the matter of this woman, and we will pay forty uqiyah as ransom on her behalf. When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saw this effort, he stood up before us to deliver a sermon and said: "O people! Why do you persist so much concerning one of the prescribed punishments (hudud) of Allah that has fallen upon one of the female servants of Allah? By the One in whose Hand is my soul! Even if Fatimah, the daughter of Muhammad, had committed the same crime that this woman has committed, I would have cut off her hand too." So the people lost hope, and her hand was cut off.
