the authenticity of this hadit is disputed. Prophet Muhammad PBUH's daughter never left home. only time she did was when she was married to Hazrat Ali r.a , so how could she commit theft even hypothetically?
secondly it indirectly meant that her upbringing was lacking which is unthinkable for a Prophet PBUH and and her daughter he called Syeda t' Nisaah Al Alammen.
that said, everyone is equal syed or no syed. and those who use such excuse are insulting the Prophet Muhammad PBUH.
The hadith is in relation to an incident where a woman of nobility called Fatimah was caught stealing. Some people interceded on her behalf asking for clemency. To that, the Prophet (saw) responded by saying that even if his own daughter, Fatimah, had committed the crime, the hudud penalty would still be enforced.
The hadith in no way casts any doubt upon the character of Fatimah, the daughter of Muhammad (saw). Indeed, she was honoured by him in another hadith as one of the four greatest women of all time, the others being Mariam, Asiya, and Khadijah, may Allah's peace and blessings be upon all of them.
