Sahih al-Bukhari 2805

Translation

My uncle Anas b. an-Nadr was absent from the fighting at Badr, so he said, “O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I was absent from the first battle in which you fought the polytheists. If Allah lets me witness battle against the polytheists, Allah will surely see what I will do.” When the Day of Uhud came and the Muslims fell back, he said, “O Allah, I apologize to You for what these people have done,” meaning his companions, “and I disavow before You what these people have done,” meaning the polytheists. Then he advanced, and Saad b. Muadh met him. He said, “O Saad b. Muadh, Paradise, by the Lord of an-Nadr! I can smell its fragrance from this side of Uhud.” Saad said, “O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I could not do what he did.” Anas said: We found on him more than eighty wounds from sword-strikes, spear-thrusts, or arrow-shots. We found that he had been killed and that the polytheists had mutilated him, and no one recognized him except his sister, by his fingertips. Anas said: We used to think, or suppose, that this verse was revealed about him and those like him: “Among the believers are men who have been true to what they pledged to Allah,” (Ahzab 33:23) to the end of the ayah. And he said: His sister, who was called al-Rubayyi, broke the incisor of a woman, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered retaliation. Anas said, “O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, by the One who sent you with the truth, her incisor will not be broken.” They then accepted compensation and left retaliation, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Among the servants of Allah are those who, if they swear an oath by Allah, He fulfills it for them.”

Notes

• وَقَالَ: إِنَّ أُخْتَهُ وَهْىَ تُسَمَّى الرُّبَيِّعَ كَسَرَتْ ثَنِيَّةَ امْرَأَةٍ، فَأَمَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِالْقِصَاصِ، فَقَالَ أَنَسٌ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ لاَ تُكْسَرُ ثَنِيَّتُهَا، فَرَضُوا بِالأَرْشِ وَتَرَكُوا الْقِصَاصَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «إِنَّ مِنْ عِبَادِ اللَّهِ مَنْ لَوْ أَقْسَمَ عَلَى اللَّهِ لأَبَرَّهُ».

Anas said: "O Messenger of Allah, by the One who sent you with the truth, her front tooth will not be broken." So they accepted the compensation (arsh) and gave up retaliation. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Indeed among the servants of Allah are those who, if they swore an oath by Allah, He would fulfil it for them." Report a problem
