English translation

4595. It was narrated that Anas bin Mālik said: “Ar-Rubayyi’, the sister of Anas bin An-Naḍr broke the front tooth of a woman, and they came to the Prophet ﷺ. He ruled that retaliation be taken in accordance with the Book of Allāh. Anas bin An-Naḍr said: ‘By the One Who sent you with the truth, her front tooth will not be broken today.’ He said: ‘O Anas, it is the decree of Allāh, Qasās.’ Then they agreed to accept the Diyah. The Prophet of Allāh ﷺ was impressed and said: 'Among the slaves of Allāh are those who, if they swear by Allāh that something will happen or not happen, then Allāh will fulfill their oaths.'" (Saḥīḥ) Abū Dāwūd said: I heard Aḥmad bin Ḥanbal saying when it was said to him: "How is retaliation taken for a tooth? He said: '(It is broken) with a file.'"

4595 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا الْمُعْتَمِرُ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ الطَّوِيلِ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ: كَسَرَتِ الرُّبَيِّعُ أُخْتُ أَنَسِ بْنِ النَّضْرِ ثَنِيَّةَ امْرَأَةٍ، فَأَتَوُا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَضَى بِكِتَابِ اللَّهِ الْقِصَاصَ، فَقَالَ أَنَسُ بْنُ النَّضْرِ: وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ لَا تُكْسَرُ ثَنِيَّتُهَا الْيَوْمَ، قَالَ: «يَا أَنَسُ كِتَابُ اللَّهِ الْقِصَاصُ» فَرَضُوا بِأَرْشٍ أَخَذُوهُ، فَعَجِبَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَقَالَ: «إِنَّ مِنْ عِبَادِ اللَّهِ مَنْ لَوْ أَقْسَمَ عَلَى اللَّهِ لَأَبَرَّهُ» قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: سَمِعْتُ أَحْمَدَ بْنَ حَنْبَلٍ قِيلَ لَهُ كَيْفَ يُقْتَصُّ مِنَ السِّنِّ؟ قَالَ: «تُبْرَدُ»
