حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّ أُسَامَةَ، كَلَّمَ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي امْرَأَةٍ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ إِنَّمَا هَلَكَ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا يُقِيمُونَ الْحَدَّ عَلَى الْوَضِيعِ، وَيَتْرُكُونَ الشَّرِيفَ، وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَوْ فَاطِمَةُ فَعَلَتْ ذَلِكَ لَقَطَعْتُ يَدَهَا ‏"‏.

বাংলা অনুবাদ
‘আয়িশাহ (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত যে, উসামাহ (রাঃ) এক মহিলার ব্যাপারে নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম-এর কাছে সুপারিশ করলেন। তখন তিনি বললেনঃ তোমাদের আগেকার সম্প্রদায়সমূহ ধ্বংস হয়ে গেছে। কারণ তারা নিম্নশ্রেণীর লোকদের উপর শারী‘আতের শাস্তি কায়িম করত। আর শরীফ লোকদের অব্যাহতি দিত। ঐ সত্তার কসম, যাঁর হাতে আমার জান, ফাতিমাও যদি এমন কাজ করত, তাহলে অবশ্যই আমি তার হাত কেটে দিতাম। [২৬৪৮] (আধুনিক প্রকাশনী- ৬৩১৮, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশন)
