Urdu Translation

ام المؤمنین عائشہ رضی اللہ عنہا کہتی ہیں کہ   قریش کو ایک مخزومی عورت جس نے چوری کی تھی کے معاملہ نے فکرمند کر دیا، وہ کہنے لگے: اس عورت کے سلسلہ میں کون رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم سے بات کرے گا؟ لوگوں نے کہا: رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کے چہیتے اسامہ بن زید رضی اللہ عنہما کے سوا اور کس کو اس کی جرات ہو سکتی ہے؟ چنانچہ اسامہ رضی اللہ عنہ نے آپ سے اس سلسلہ میں گفتگو کی تو آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا: اسامہ! کیا تم اللہ کے حدود میں سے ایک حد کے سلسلہ میں مجھ سے سفارش کرتے ہو! پھر آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کھڑے ہوئے اور خطبہ دیا، آپ نے اس خطبہ میں فرمایا: تم سے پہلے کے لوگ اسی وجہ سے ہلاک ہوئے کیونکہ ان میں جب کوئی معزز آدمی چوری کرتا تو اسے چھوڑ دیتے اور جب کسی کمزور سے یہ جرم سرزد ہو جاتا تو اس پر حد قائم کرتے، قسم اللہ کی اگر فاطمہ بنت محمد بھی چوری کرے تو میں اس کا ہاتھ بھی کاٹ ڈالوں گا ۔

English Translation

Aishah said: The Quraish were anxious about the Makhzumi woman who had committed theft, They said: Who will speak to the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم about her ? Then they said: Who will be bold enough for it but Uasmah bin Zaid, the prophet’s صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم friend! So Usamah spoke to him, and the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم 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.
