Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: Quraysh wanted someone to speak to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about the Makhzumi woman who had stolen, and it was decided that only Sayyiduna Usamah bin Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) had the courage for it, as he was the beloved of the Messenger. So Sayyiduna Usamah (may Allah be pleased with him) spoke to him (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Usamah! Are you interceding concerning the hudud of Allah?" Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) delivered a sermon and said: "Those before you were destroyed only because when a rich person among them stole, they would let him go, and they would carry out the hadd on the poor. By Allah, even if Fatimah, the daughter of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), were to steal, I would cut off her hand too."
