Chapter 65: Prophetic Commentary on the Qur'an (Tafseer of the Prophet (pbuh))
Narrated Anas: 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."
