girl’s relatives to accept the Irsh (compensation for wounds etc.) and forgive (the offender), but they
refused. So, they went to the Prophet (ﷺ) 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 (ﷺ) said, “O Anas! Allah”; law ordains retaliation.”
Later the relatives of the girl agreed and forgave her. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “There are some of Allah’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.”
