Apostle about that matter, Allah's Apostle said, "Do you intercede
(with me) to violate one of the legal punishment of Allah?" Then he
got up and addressed the people, saying, "O people! The nations
before you went astray because if a noble person committed theft,

if Fatima, the daughter of Muhammad committed theft, Muhammad will
cut off her hand.!"

be accepted."
