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)  

الكبرى للنسائي:٦٩٣١أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ثَابِتٌ عَنْ أَنَسٍ

أَنَّ أُخْتَ الرُّبَيِّعِ أُمَّ حَارِثَةَ جَرَحَتْ إِنْسَانًا فَاخْتَصَمُوا إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «الْقِصَاصَ الْقِصَاصَ» فَقَالَتْ أُمُّ الرُّبَيِّعِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَتَقْتَصُّ مِنْ فُلَانَةَ؟ لَا وَاللهِ لَا يُقْتَصُّ مِنْهَا أَبَدًا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «سُبْحَانَ اللهِ يَا أُمَّ الرَّبِيعِ الْقِصَاصُ كِتَابُ اللهِ» قَالَتْ لَا وَاللهِ لَا يُقْتَصُّ مِنْهَا أَبَدًا فَمَا زَالَتْ حَتَّى قَبِلُوا الدِّيَةَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ مِنْ عَبَّادِ اللهِ مَنْ لَوْ أَقْسَمَ عَلَى اللهِ لَأَبَرَّهُ»
