Volume 3, Book 49, Number 866:
Narrated Anas:
Ar-Rabi, the daughter of An-Nadr broke the tooth of a girl, and the relatives of Ar-Rabi’ requested
the girl’s relatives to accept the Irsh (compensation for wounds etc.) and forgive (the offender), but
they refused. So, they went to the Prophet who ordered them to bring about retaliation. Anas bin An-
Nadr asked, “O Allah”; Apostle! Will the tooth of Ar-Rabi’ be broken? No, by Him Who has sent you
with the Truth, her tooth will not be broken.” The Prophet said, “O Anas! Allah”; law ordains retali –
ation.” Later the relatives of the girl agreed and forgave her. The Prophet said, “There are some of Al –
lah’s slaves who, if they take an oath by Allah, are responded to by Allah i.e. their oath is fulfilled).
Anas added, “The people agreed and accepted the Irsh.”
