ahmad:24138Sufyān > Ayyūb b. Mūsá > al-Zuhrī > ʿUrwah

[Machine] "Aisha narrated that a thief was brought to the Prophet ﷺ , and he ordered for the thief to be punished and his hand to be cut off. They said, 'O Messenger of Allah, we did not expect him to be affected by this.' He said, 'If it had been Fatimah, I would have cut off her hand.' Then Sufyan said, 'I do not know how it is.'"  

أحمد:٢٤١٣٨حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ مُوسَى عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أُتِيَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ بِسَارِقٍ فَأَمَرَ بِهِ فَقُطِعَ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا كُنَّا نَرَى أَنْ يَبْلُغَ مِنْهُ هَذَا قَالَ لَوْ كَانَتْ فَاطِمَةُ لَقَطَعْتُهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ لَا أَدْرِي كَيْفَ هُوَ ؟
