[Machine] "Yes, by Allah, I will surely execute them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ executed some of them with his own hands, and Abu Bakr executed some of them with his own hands as well. Should I not execute them? Amr ibn al-As said, "Is there anything else, O Commander of the Believers?" He said, "And what is it?" He said, "Does it not please him?" He said, "No, this is severed and we have narrated it as connected and continuous in the chapter of killing the Imam."
نَعَمْ وَاللهِ لَأُقِيدَنَّ مِنْهُمْ أَقَادَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ وَأَقَادَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ أَفَلَا أُقِيدُ؟ قَالَ عَمْرُو بْنُ الْعَاصِ أَوَغَيْرُ ذَلِكَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ؟ قَالَ وَمَا هُوَ؟ قَالَ أَوَمَا يُرْضِيهِ؟ قَالَ أَوْ ذَلِكَ هَذَا مُنْقَطِعٌ وَقَدْ رُوِّينَاهُ مَوْصُولًا وَمُرْسَلًا فِي بَابِ قَتْلِ الْإِمَامِ
[Machine] In His saying ﷻ {a life for a life} [Al-Ma'idah 45], He stated that a life is taken for a life, an eye for an eye, a nose is cut off for a nose, a tooth is pulled out for a tooth, and a wound is retaliated with a wound. This is applicable to all free Muslim men and women among themselves, as long as it concerns intentional injury and not lesser harm.
فِي قَوْلِهِ ﷻ {النَّفْسَ بِالنَّفْسِ} [المائدة 45] قَالَ تُقْتَلُ النَّفْسُ بِالنَّفْسِ وَتُفْقَأُ الْعَيْنُ بِالْعَيْنِ وَيُقْطَعُ الْأَنْفُ بِالْأَنْفِ وَتُنْزَعُ السِّنُّ بِالسِّنِّ وَيُقْتَصُّ الْجِرَاحُ بِالْجِرَاحِ فَهَذَا يَسْتَوِي فِيهِ أَحْرَارُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فِيمَا بَيْنَهُمْ رِجَالُهُمْ وَنِسَاؤُهُمْ إِذَا كَانَ عَمْدًا فِي النَّفْسِ وَمَا دُونَ النَّفْسِ
Retribution, retribution. Umm Rubayyi' said: Messenger of Allah, will retribution be taken from so and so? By Allah, it shall not be taken from her (i. e. from Umm Haritha). Thereupon Allah's Apostle said: Hallowed be Allah. O Umm Rubayyi', Qisas (retribution is a command, prescribed) in the Book of Allah. She said: No, by Allah, Qisas will never be taken from her; and she went on saying this until they (the relatives of the one who had been injured) accepted the blood-wit. Thereupon Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Verily there are amongst the servants of Allah (such pious persons) who, if they take oath of Allah, He honours it. (Using translation from Muslim 1675)
أَنَّ أُخْتَ الرُّبَيِّعِ أُمَّ حَارِثَةَ جَرَحَتْ إِنْسَانًا فَاخْتَصَمُوا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْقِصَاصَ الْقِصَاصَ فَقَالَتْ أُمُّ الرُّبَيِّعِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَيُقْتَصُّ مِنْ فُلَانَةَ وَاللهِ لَا يُقْتَصُّ مِنْهَا أَبَدًا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ الْقِصَاصُ كِتَابُ اللهِ قَالَتْ وَاللهِ لَا يُقْتَصُّ مِنْهَا أَبَدًا قَالَ فَمَا زَالَتْ حَتَّى قَبِلُوا الدِّيَةَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ مِنْ عِبَادِ اللهِ مَنْ لَوْ أَقْسَمَ عَلَى اللهِ لَأَبَرَّهُ
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 Messenger of Allah 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 Messenger of Allah 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." Messenger of Allah 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 Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Among Allah's Worshippers there are some who, if they took Allah's Oath (for something), Allah fulfill their oaths." (Using translation from Bukhārī 4500)
لَطَمَتِ الرُّبَيِّعُ بِنْتُ النَّضْرِ جَارِيَةً فَكَسَرَتْ ثَنِيَّتَهَا فَطَلَبُوا إِلَيْهِمُ الْعَفْوَ فَأَبَوْا وَعَرَضُوا الْأَرْشَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَأَبَوْا فَأَتَوَا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَمَرَ بِالْقِصَاصِ فَقَالَ أَنَسُ بْنُ النَّضْرِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَتُكْسَرُ ثَنِيَّةُ الرُّبَيِّعِ؟ وَالَّذِي بَعَثَكَ بِالْحَقِّ لَا تُكْسَرُ ثَنِيَّتُهَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَا أَنَسُ كِتَابُ اللهِ الْقِصَاصُ فَرَضِيَ الْقَوْمُ فَعَفَوْا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِنَّ مِنْ عِبَادِ اللهِ مَنْ لَوْ أَقْسَمَ عَلَى اللهِ لَأَبَرَّهُ
