were violated, if that occurred, then the beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would become angry.[1]
Umm-ul-Mu`mineen, Sayyidatuna ‘Aaishah Siddiqah رَضِیَ اللهُ عَنْهَا mentions: A woman from the family of Quraysh (Makhzoom tribe) stole something, so the Quraysh started thinking as to who would intercede with the Holy Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم on her behalf. Finally, Sayyiduna Usamah Bin Zayd رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ was chosen as he رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ was beloved to the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم .
When Sayyiduna Usamah رَضِىَ الـلّٰـهُ عَـنْهُ interceded with the beloved Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم on her behalf, the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said, “Do you intercede in regard to the limits of Allah Almighty?” Then he صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم stood up and delivered a sermon:
O people! The people before you were destroyed because if a person of high rank had stolen (something), he would have been released, and if a poor man had stolen (something), then he would be punished. By Allah Almighty! If Fatimah, the daughter of Muhammad, had stolen, I would have (even) cut her hand.[2]
Dear Islamic brothers, you have just heard that our beloved and blessed Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم is extremely kind and affectionate! He صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم even forgave his enemies who were cruel to him, but when the violation of the Shari’ah was committed before him, then he صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم would get angry. The Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم has said:
When anyone of you sees an evil deed, then he should stop it with his hand. And the one who is unable to do that, then he should stop it with his tongue.
