That his aunt, Ar-Rubai’ broke an incisor tooth of a girl. My aunt’s family requested the girl’s rel –
atives for forgiveness but they refused; then they proposed a compensation, but they refused. Then
they went to Allah’s Apostle and refused everything except Al-Qisas (i.e. equality in punishment). So
Allah’s Apostle passed the judgment of Al-Qisas (i.e. equality of punishment). Anas bin Al-Nadr said,
“O Allah’s Apostle! Will the incisor tooth of Ar-Rubai be broken? No, by Him Who sent you with the
Truth, her incisor tooth will not be broken.” Allah’s Apostle said, “O Anas! The prescribed law of Al –
lah is equality in punishment (i.e. Al-Qisas.)” Thereupon those people became satisfied and forgave
her. Then Allah’s Apostle said, “Among Allah’s Worshippers there are some who, if they took Allah’s
Oath (for something), Allah fulfill their oaths.”
