Sahih al-Jami al-Saghir 2348 — What destroyed those before you was

«إنما أهلك الذين من قبلكم أنهم كانوا إذا سرق فيهم الشريف تركوه وإذا سرق فيهم الضعيف أقاموا عليه الحد»
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
"What destroyed those before you was that when a noble (and influential) person among them stole, they would let him go, and when a weak (and poor) person among them stole, they would carry out the prescribed punishment (hadd) upon him."
