حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ

رضى الله عنها أَنَّ قُرَيْشًا، أَهَمَّهُمْ شَأْنُ الْمَخْزُومِيَّةِ، فَقَالُوا: مَنْ يَجْتَرِئُ عَلَيْهِ إِلاَّ أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، حِبُّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ

The people of the Quraish tribe were worried about the Makhzumiya woman. They said. “Nobody dare speak to him (i.e. the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam)) except Usamah ibn Zayd as he is the most beloved to the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam).”

‘আয়িশাহ (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। মাখযুম গোত্রের এক নারীর চুরির ঘটনায় কুরাইশগণ চিন্তিত হয়ে পড়ল। তারা বললেন, আল্লাহর রাসূল সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম-এর প্রিয় পাত্র উসামাহ ইবনু যায়দ (রাঃ) ছাড়া কে আর তাঁর নিকট বলার সাহস করবে? (২৬৪৮)

ہم سے قتیبہ بن سعید نے بیان کیا، کہا ہم سے لیث بن سعد نے بیان کیا، ان سے زہری نے، ان سے عروہ نے اور ان سے عائشہ رضی اللہ عنہا نے کہ قریش مخزومیہ عورت کے معاملے کی وجہ سے بہت رنجیدہ تھے۔ انہوں نے یہ فیصلہ آپس میں کیا کہ اسامہ بن زید رضی اللہ عنہما کے سوا، جو رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کو انتہائی عزیز ہیں ( اس عورت کی سفارش کے لیے ) اور کون جرات کر سکتا ہے

Aişe r.anha'dan rivayete göre; "Kureyşiiler Mahzum oğullanna mensup kadının durumu dolayısıyla endişelendi ve: Buna (yani bu iş için iltimas etmeye) Reseılullah Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem'in çok sevdiği Usame b. Zeyd'den başkası kim cesaret edebilir, dediler

What it means

A woman from Banu Makhzūm used to deceitfully borrow things from people and then deny taking anything. She once borrowed jewelry and denied having taken it. Yet, it was found in her possession. News of this reached the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) who resolved to inflict the prescribed punishment on her, by cutting off her hand.

She was a noble woman from an honorable family in the Quraysh. Therefore, the Quraysh were concerned about her and the ruling to be executed against her. They consulted each other over who should be chosen as an intercessor before the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) on her behalf, seeking to relieve her from the punishment.

They found no one more qualified than Usāmah ibn Zayd, for he was close and beloved to the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him). He talked to him. The Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him), became extremely angry with Usāmah and rebukingly said: “Would you intercede regarding one of the punishments prescribed by Allah?" Then, he stood up and addressed the people to clarify to them the gravity of such intercession that aims at suspending the punishments set by the Almighty Lord.

This was also because the matter concerned many of them. The Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) informed them that the past nations were ruined, in terms of their religious and worldly affairs, because they used to inflict the legal punishments upon the poor and the weak and pardon the rich and the powerful. Therefore, chaos, evil, and corruption spread and prevailed among them, and they incurred the wrath of Allah, the Almighty, and deserved His punishment. In a concluding statement, the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) swore that if his daughter Fātimah, the noblest among all women, committed such an act, he would definitely subject her to the legal punishment prescribed by Allah, the Almighty.
