[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "The greatest of you in taking care of women is the best among you." She was from the Quraysh tribe, so we went to the Prophet ﷺ and spoke to him. We said, "O Messenger of Allah, we want to compensate her with forty uqiyyahs." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Purifying herself is better for her." When we heard this gentle word from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , we went to Usamah ibn Zaid and spoke to him. We said, "Intercede for us with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ regarding this woman, and we will compensate her with forty uqiyyahs." When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw that, he stood before us as a speaker and said, "O people, what is your hurry in going beyond the limits set by Allah and messing with one of His female servants? By the One in whose hand is my soul, if Fatimah bint Muhammad were to commit such an act, I would cut off her hand." The people were astonished, and he did indeed cut off her hand.
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَعْظَمْنَا ذَلِكَ وَكَانَتْ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ فَجِئْنَا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَكَلَّمْنَاهُ فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ نَفْدِيهَا بِأَرْبَعِينَ أُوقِيَّةً فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «تُطَهَّرُ خَيْرٌ لَهَا» فَلَمَّا سَمِعْنَاها لِينَ قَوْلِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ انْطَلَقْنَا إِلَى أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ وَكَلَّمْنَاهُ فَقُلْنَا اشْفَعْ لَنَا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي شَأْنِ هَذِهِ الْمَرْأَةِ وَنَفْدِيهَا بِأَرْبَعِينَ أُوقِيَّةً فَلَمَّا رَأَى ذَلِكَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَامَ فِينَا خَطِيبًا فَقَالَ «يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ» مَا إِكْثَارُكُمْ فِي حَدٍّ مِنْ حُدُودِ اللهِ وَقَعَ عَلَى أَمَةٍ مِنْ إِمَاءِ اللهِ؟ فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَوْ أَنَّ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتَ مُحَمَّدٍ قَرِفَتْ بِمَا نَزَلَتْ بِهِ هَذِهِ لَقَطَعْتُ يَدَهَا فَيَئِسَ النَّاسُ فَقَطَعَ يَدَهَا
