Mishkat al-Masabih 3607
‘A’isha told that when a thief was brought to Allah's Messenger ﷺ and he had his hand cut off, those who brought him said, "We did not think you would go so far as this with him.” He replied, "If Fatima had been the one, I would have had her hand cut off.” Nasa’i transmitted it.
عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ: أَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِسَارِقٍ فَقَطَعَهُ فَقَالُوا: مَا كُنَّا نَرَاكَ تَبْلُغُ بِهِ هَذَا قَالَ: «لَوْ كانتْ فاطمةُ لقطعتَها» . رَوَاهُ النَّسَائِيّ
