Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْمُثَنَّى حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ الطَّوِيلُ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ أَنَّ الرُّبَيِّعَ بِنْتَ النَّضْرِ عَمَّةَ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ كَسَرَتْ ثَنِيَّةَ جَارِيَةٍ فَعَرَضُوا عَلَيْهِمْ الْأَرْشَ فَأَبَوْا وَطَلَبُوا الْعَفْوَ فَأَبَوْا فَأَبَوْا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَمَرَ بِالْقِصَاصِ فَجَاءَ أَخُوهَا أَنَسُ بْنُ النَّضْر
ِ عَمُّ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَتُكْسَرُ ثَنِيَّةُ الرُّبَيِّعِ لَا وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ لَا تُكْسَرُ ثَنِيَّتُهَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَا أَنَسُ كِتَابُ اللَّهِ الْقِصَاصُ قَالَ فَعَفَا الْقَوْمُ قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّ مِنْ عِبَادِ اللَّهِ مَنْ لَوْ أَقْسَمَ عَلَى اللَّهِ لَأَبَرَّهُ
English Translation
Muhammad ibn 'Abdillah ibn al-Muthanna narrated to us, Humayd al-Tawil narrated to us, from Anas ibn Malik (رضي الله عنه), that al-Rubayyi' bint al-Nadr — the aunt of Anas ibn Malik — broke the front tooth of a girl. They offered them the blood money (arsh) but they refused. They demanded retaliation (qisas). Anas ibn al-Nadr came and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, shall al-Rubayyi's tooth be broken? By the One Who sent you with the truth, her tooth shall not be broken!' the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'O Anas, the Book of Allah prescribes retaliation.' Then the people (the injured party) agreed to accept the blood money. the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Among the servants of Allah are those who, if they swore by Allah, He would fulfill their oath.'
