English translation
4761. It was narrated that Anas said: “Ar-Rubaî broke the front tooth of a girl, and they asked them (her people) to forgive her, but they refused. They offered them blood money, but they refused. Then they went to the Prophet ﷺ and he decreed retaliation. Anas bin An-Nadr said: “O Messenger of Allâh, will you break the front tooth of Ar-Rubaî? No, by the One Who sent you with the truth, it will not be broken!” He said: “O Anas, what Allâh has decreed is retaliation.” But the people agreed to forgive her. He (the Prophet ﷺ) said: “There are among the slaves of Allâh who, if they swear by Allâh, Allâh fulfills their oath.” (Sahîh)
