ابن ماجہ · Hadith 2649
It was narrated that Anas said: "Rubai', the paternal aunt of Anas, broke the tooth of a girl and they (her family) asked (the girl's family) to let her off, but they refused. They offered to pay compensatory money, but they refused. So they came to the Prophet who ordered retaliation. Anas bin Nadr said: '0 Messenger of Allah, will the tooth of Rubai' be broken? By the One who sent you with the Truth, it will not be broken!' The Prophet said: 'O Anas, what Allah has decreed is retaliation.' So the people accepted that and forgave her. The Messenger of Allah said: 'There are among the slaves of Allah those who, if they swear by Allah, Allah fulfills their oath.'''
