Sahih Muslim · Hadith 4508

The Book Pertaining to Punishments Prescribed by Islam - كتاب الحدود

وحدثني سلمة بن شبيب، حدثنا الحسن بن أعين، حدثنا معقل، عن أبي الزبير، عن جابر، أن امرأة، من بني مخزوم سرقت فأتي بها النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فعاذت بأم سلمة زوج النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ والله لو كانت فاطمة لقطعت يدها ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فقطعت ‏.‏

Jaibir reported that a woman from the tribe of Makhzum committed theft. She was brought to Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) and she sought refuge (intercession) from Umm Salama, the wife of Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him). Thereupon Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) said: By Allah, even if she were Fatima, I would have her hand cut off. And thus her hand was cut off.
