Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَعْدَانَ بْنِ عِيسَى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ أَعْيَنَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْقِلٌ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، أَنَّ امْرَأَةً، مِنْ بَنِي مَخْزُومٍ سَرَقَتْ فَأُتِيَ بِهَا النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَعَاذَتْ بِأُمِّ سَلَمَةَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ لَوْ كَانَتْ فَاطِمَةَ بِنْتَ مُحَمَّدٍ لَقَطَعْتُ يَدَهَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقُطِعَتْ يَدُهَا ‏.‏

Translation

Jabir reported that a woman from Banu Makhzum stole something and was brought to the Prophet. She sought the protection of Umm Salamah. The Prophet said, “If Fatimah daughter of Muhammad were to steal, I would cut off her hand.” Then her hand was cut off.
