That his aunt, Ar-Rubai' broke an incisor tooth of a girl. My aunt's family requested the girl's relatives
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."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 65, Hadith 27
Zainab, the wife of `Abdullah said, "I was in the Mosque and saw the Prophet (p.b.u.h) saying, 'O
women ! Give alms even from your ornaments.' " Zainab used to provide for `Abdullah and those
orphans who were under her protection. So she said to `Abdullah, "Will you ask Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
whether it will be sufficient for me to spend part of the Zakat on you and the orphans who are under
my protection?" He replied "Will you yourself ask Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ?" (Zainab added): So I went to the
Prophet and I saw there an Ansari woman who was standing at the door (of the Prophet (ﷺ) ) with a
similar problem as mine. Bilal passed by us and we asked him, 'Ask the Prophet (ﷺ) whether it is
permissible for me to spend (the Zakat) on my husband and the orphans under my protection.' And we
requested Bilal not to inform the Prophet (ﷺ) about us. So Bilal went inside and asked the Prophet (ﷺ)
regarding our problem. The Prophet (p.b.u.h) asked, "Who are those two?" Bilal replied that she was
Zainab. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Which Zainab?" Bilal said, "The wife of `Abdullah (bin Mas`ud)." The
Prophet said, "Yes, (it is sufficient for her) and she will receive a double rewards (for that): One for
helping relatives, and the other for giving Zakat."
