Safwan bin Ya'la bin Umayya thus reported from his father: I participated in the expedition to Tabuk with Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) . And Ya'la used to say: That was the most weighty of my deeds, in my opinion. Safwan said that Ya'la had stated: I had a servant; he quarrelled with another person, and the one bit the hand of the other. ('Ata' said that Safwan had told him which one had bitten the hand of the other.) So he whose hand was bitten drew it from (the mouth) of the one who had bitten it and (in this scuffle) one of his foreteeth was also drawn out. They both came to Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and he declared his (claim for the compensation of) tooth as invalid.

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Juraij with the same chain of transmitters.

Anas reported that Umm Haritha, the sister of Rubayyi' (she was the father's sister of Hadrat Anas) injured a person (she broke his teeth). The dispute was referred to Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) . Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: 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 ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) 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 Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: Verily there are amongst the servants of Allah (such pious persons) who, if they take oath of Allah, He honours it.

'Abdullah (b. Mas'ud) reported Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying: It is not permissible to take the life of a Muslim who bears testimony (to the fact that there is no god but Allah, and I am the Messenger of Allah, but in one of the three cases: the married adulterer, a life for life, and the deserter of his Din (Islam), abandoning the community.

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of A'mash.

'Abdullah (b. Mas'ud) reported: Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) stood up and said: By Him besides Whom there is no god but He, the blood of a Muslim who bears the testimony that there is no god but Allah, and I am His Messenger, may be lawfully shed only in case of three persons: the one who abandons Islam, and deserts the community [Ahmad, one of the narrators, is doubtful whether the Holy Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) used the word li'l-jama'ah or al-jama'ah), and the married adulterer, and life for life.

This hadith has been reported on the authority of A'mash with the same chain of narrators but with a slight variation of words, i. e. he did not say: By Him besides Whom there is no god.

'Abdullah (b. Mas'ud) reported: Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) having said: No person who is killed unjustly, but the share of (this offence of his also) falls upon the first son of Adam, for he was the first to introduce killing.

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Jarir and 'Isa bin Yunus with a slight variation of words.

'Abdullah bin (Mas'ud) reported Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying: The first (thing) that will be decided among people on the Day of Judgment will pertain to bloodshed.
