Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ مُوسَى عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُتِيَ بِسَارِقٍ فَأَمَرَ بِهِ فَقُطِعَ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا كُنَّا نَرَى أَنْ يَبْلُغَ مِنْهُ هَذَا قَالَ لَوْ كَانَتْ فَاطِمَةُ لَقَطَعْتُهَا ثُمَّ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ لَا أَدْرِي كَيْفَ هُوَ.
English Translation
Aisha reported that the Prophet (peace be upon him) was brought a thief and ordered that his hand be cut off. They said: "O Messenger of Allah, we did not think it would go this far." He said: "Even if it were Fatimah, I would cut (her hand)." Then Sufyan said: "I am not sure how it exactly is."
