Aisha said, "A Qaif (i.e. one skilled in recognizing the lineage of a person through Physiognomy and
through examining the body parts of an infant) came to me while the Prophet (ﷺ) was present, and Usama
bin Zaid and Zaid bin Haritha were Lying asleep. The Qa'if said. These feet (of Usama and his father)
are of persons belonging to the same lineage.' " The Prophet (ﷺ) was pleased with that saying which won
his admiration, and he told `Aisha of it.

Aisha
said, "A woman from Bani Makhzumiya committed a theft and the people
said, 'Who can intercede with the Prophet (ﷺ) for her?' So nobody dared
speak to him (i.e. the Prophet) but Usama bin Zaid spoke to him. The
Prophet said, 'If a reputable man amongst the children of Bani Israel
committed a theft, they used to forgive him, but if a poor man
committed a theft, they would cut his hand. But I would cut even the
hand of Fatima (i.e. the daughter of the Prophet) if she committed a
theft."
