Home Hadith Hadith 4405
Ar-Rubai (the paternal aunt of Anas bin Malik) broke the incisor tooth of young Ansari girl. Her
family demanded the Qisas and they came to the Prophet (ﷺ) who passed the judgment of Qisas. Anas bin
An-Nadr (the paternal uncle of Anas bin Malik) said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! By Allah, her tooth will not
be broken." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "O Anas! (The law prescribed in) Allah's Book is Qisas." But the
people (i.e. the relatives of the girl) gave up their claim and accepted a compensation. On that Allah's
Apostle said, "Some of Allah's worshippers are such that if they take an oath, Allah will fulfill it for
them."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 65, Hadith 133

That he was sitting behind `Umar bin `Abdul `Aziz and the people mentioned and mentioned (about
at-Qasama) and they said (various things), and said that the Caliphs had permitted it. `Umar bin
`Abdul `Aziz turned towards Abu Qilaba who was behind him and said. "What do you say, O
`Abdullah bin Zaid?" or said, "What do you say, O Abu Qilaba?" Abu Qilaba said, "I do not know that
killing a person is lawful in Islam except in three cases: a married person committing illegal sexual
intercourse, one who has murdered somebody unlawfully, or one who wages war against Allah and
His Apostle." 'Anbasa said, "Anas narrated to us such-and-such." Abu Qilaba said, "Anas narrated to
me in this concern, saying, some people came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and they spoke to him saying, 'The
climate of this land does not suit us.' The Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'These are camels belonging to us, and they are
to be taken out to the pasture. So take them out and drink of their milk and urine.' So they took them
and set out and drank of their urine and milk, and having recovered, they attacked the shepherd, killed
him and drove away the camels.' Why should there be any delay in punishing them as they murdered
(a person) and waged war against Allah and His Apostle and frightened Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ?" Anbasa
said, "I testify the uniqueness of Allah!" Abu Qilaba said, "Do you suspect me?" 'Anbasa said, "No,
Anas narrated that (Hadith) to us." Then 'Anbasa added, "O the people of such-and-such (country),
you will remain in good state as long as Allah keeps this (man) and the like of this (man) amongst
you."
