According to ʿUbada b. al-Samit (ra), the Messenger of Allah (saw) said, “Carry out the legal punishments on relatives and strangers, and do not let the fear of blame stop you from carrying out the command of Allah.” (Ibn Maja, al-Hudud, 3)

According to ʿAʾisha (ra), the Prophet’s wife, (when a group of people from the tribe of Quraysh interceded with the Prophet (saw) for the pardoning of a woman named Fatima who had committed theft) …, Allah’s Messenger stood up and delivered a sermon, glorified Allah as He deserves to be glorified, and then said, “This (injustice) destroyed those before you whereby when anyone of (high) rank among them committed theft, they spared him, and when anyone who was weak among them committed theft, they inflicted the prescribed punishment upon him. By the One who holds my life in His hands, even if Fatima, daughter of Muhammad, were to commit theft, I would have cut off her hand.” (Muslim, al-Hudud, 9)

According to Abu Hurayra (ra), the Messenger of Allah (saw) said (when a bedouin asked him about the time of the Last Day), “When trust is lost, then wait for the Hour.” The bedouin asked, “How will trust be lost, O Messenger of Allah?” He said, “When authority is given to those who do not deserve it, then wait for the Hour.” (al-Bukhari, al-Riqaq, 35)
