Sahih al-Bukhari 4299 (Book 65, Hadith 27)
for forgiveness but they refused; then they proposed a compensation, but they refused. Then they went
to Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) 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 Messenger (ﷺ)! 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 Messenger (ﷺ) said, “O Anas! The prescribed law of
Allah is equality in punishment (i.e. Al-Qisas.)” Thereupon those people became satisfied and forgave
her. Then Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “Among Allah’s Worshippers there are some who, if they took Allah’s
Oath (for something), Allah fulfill their oaths.”
