أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّی قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ کَسَرَتْ الرُّبَيِّعُ ثَنِيَّةَ جَارِيَةٍ فَطَلَبُوا إِلَيْهِمْ الْعَفْوَ فَأَبَوْا فَعُرِضَ عَلَيْهِمْ الْأَرْشُ فَأَبَوْا فَأَتَوْا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَمَرَ بِالْقِصَاصِ قَالَ أَنَسُ بْنُ النَّضْرِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ تُکْسَرُ ثَنِيَّةُ الرُّبَيِّعِ لَا وَالَّذِي بَعَثَکَ بِالْحَقِّ لَا تُکْسَرُ قَالَ يَا أَنَسُ کِتَابُ اللَّهِ الْقِصَاصُ فَرَضِيَ الْقَوْمُ وَعَفَوْا فَقَالَ إِنَّ مِنْ عِبَادِ اللَّهِ مَنْ لَوْ أَقْسَمَ عَلَی اللَّهِ لَأَبَرَّهُ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 4772
It was narrated that Anas said: “Ar-Rubai’ broke the front tooth of a girl, and they asked them (her people) to forgive her, but they refused. They offered them blood money, but they refused. Then they went to the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم and he decreed retaliation Anas bin An-Nadr said; “Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم, will you break the front tooth of Ar-RubaI’? No, by the One Who sent you with the truth, it will not be broken!” He said; “Anas, what Allah has decreed is retaliation.” But the people agreed to forgive her. He (the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) said: ‘There are among the slaves of Allah who, if they swear by Allah, Allah fulfills their oath.” (Sahih)
