Ibn Umar said: A Makhzuml woman used to borrow goods and deny having received them, so the prophet ﷺ gave orders and her hand was cut off. Abu Dawud said: Juwairiyyah has transmitted it from Nafi from Ibn Umar or from Safiyyah daughter of Abu Ubaid. This version adds: The prophet ﷺ got up and gave an address saying: Is there any woman who repents to Allah, the Exalted, and to his Messenger? He said it three times, That ( woman) was present there but she did not get up and speak. Ibn Ghunj transmitted it from Nafi from Safiyyah daughter of Abu Ubaid. This version has: He witnessed to her.

Aishah said: The Quraish were anxious about the Makhzumi woman who had committed theft, They said: Who will speak to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about her ? Then they said: Who will be bold enough for it but Uasmah bin Zaid, the prophet’s ﷺ friend! So Usamah spoke to him, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Are you interceding regarding one of the punishments prescribed by Allah ? He then got up and gave an address, saying: What destroyed your predecessors was just that when a person of rank among them committed a theft, They left him alone, and when a weak one of them committed a theft, they inflicted the prescribed punishment on him. I swear by Allah that if Fatimah daughter of Muhammad should steal, I would have her hand cut off.

Aishah said: A Makhzumi woman used to borrow goods and deny having received them, so the prophet ﷺ gave orders that her hand should be cut off. The narrator than transmitted the rest of the tradition like that of al-laith, saying: So the prophet ﷺ had her hand cut off. Abu dawud said: Ibn Wahb transmitted this tradition from Yunus on the authority of al-Zuhri, and in this version he said al-Laith has said: A woman committed theft during the lifetime of the Prophet ﷺ on the occasion of the Conquest (of Makkah). It has been transmitted by al-Laith from Yunus on the authority of Ibn Shihab through his chain of narrators. He said in this version: A woman borrowed goods. Masud bin al-Aswad also transmitted a similar tradition from the Prophet ﷺ and said: A velvet was stolen from the house of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Abu Dawud said: Abu al-Zubair reported on the authority of Jabir: A woman committed theft and took refuge with Zainab daughter of Prophet ﷺ.

Narrated Aishah, Ummul Muminin: A woman borrowed jewellery through some known persons and she herself was unknown. She then sold them. She was seized and brought to the Prophet ﷺ. He gave orders that her hand should be cut off. It is this woman about whom Usamah interceded and of her the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said whatever he said.

Aishah said: A Makhzuml woman used to borrow goods and deny having received them. The prophet ﷺ gave orders that her hand should be cut off. He (the narrator) then narrated the tradition similar to the one transmitted by Qutaibah from al-Laith from Ibn Shahib. This version adds: The Prophet ﷺ had her hand cut off.
