According to ʿAʾsha (ra), “A woman had committed theft and was brought to the Prophet (saw). They said, ‘Only Usama could go to the Messenger of Allah (saw) and intervene (in order for her to be forgiven).’ So they spoke with Usama and he spoke with the Prophet (saw) who said the following: ‘O people! The nations before you went astray because, if a notable person committed theft, they used to forego his punishment, but if a powerless person among them committed theft, they used to inflict the legal punishment on him. By Allah, if Fatima, the daughter of Muhammad had committed theft, Muhammad would have cut off her hand!’” (al-Nasaʾi, Qatʿ al-Sariq, 6)

According to Abu Nadra (ra), “One of the Companions (ra) who heard the Farewell Address that the Messenger of Allah (saw) gave in the midst of the last three days of the Hajj told me that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said, ‘O people! Know this well! Your Lord is one. Your ancestor is one. Apart from piety, the Arab has no superiority over the non-Arab nor the non-Arab over the Arab nor the white over the black nor the black over the white.’” (Ibn Hanbal V, 411)
