question #3 Sahih al-Bukhari 3475, Book 60, Hadith 142 : What lesson can be learned from the Prophet’s stance on justice, even towards his own family?

The people of Quraish worried about the lady from Bani Makhzum who had committed theft. They
asked, “Who will intercede for her with Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)?” Some said, “No one dare to do so except
Usama bin Zaid the beloved one to Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) .” When Usama spoke about that to Allah’s
Apostle Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, (to him), “Do you try to intercede for somebody in a case connected
with Allah’s Prescribed Punishments?” Then he got up and delivered a sermon saying, “What
destroyed the nations preceding you, was that if a noble amongst them stole, they would forgive him,
and if a poor person amongst them stole, they would inflict Allah’s Legal punishment on him. By
Allah, if Fatima, the daughter of Muhammad stole, I would cut off her hand.”
