Whenever the Prophet was given an option between two things, he used to select the easier of the
two as long as it was not sinful; but if it was sinful, he would remain far from it. By Allah, he never

were transgressed, he would take revenge for Allah’s Sake.

matter, Allah’s Apostle said, “Do you intercede (with me) to violate one of the legal punishment of Al –
lah?” Then he got up and addressed the people, saying, “O people! The nations before you went
astray because if a noble person committed theft, they used to leave him, but if a weak person among
them committed theft, they used to inflict the legal punishment on him. By Allah, if Fatima, the
daughter of Muhammad committed theft, Muhammad will cut off her hand.!”
