Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If the call is made in a general sense, and such a thing occurred with Anas ibn al-Nadr (may Allah be pleased with him) when it was decided to break the tooth of al-Rabi' on the basis of qisas (retaliation in kind), he swore that it would not be broken, on the basis of having good expectations of Allah the Exalted.
Answer:
On the basis of having good expectations of Allah the Exalted, Allah inspired the awliya (close friends of Allah) of the girl to pardon; Allah inspired them to pardon out of respect for Anas ibn al-Nadr (may Allah be pleased with him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih al-Bukhari 4500 Because he said, "By Him who sent you as a truthful prophet, do not break the tooth of al-Rabi'." His intention was not to prevent the hudud (fixed Qur'anic punishments), but his intention was that Allah would provide a way out for her. So Allah provided a way out for her and inspired those seeking qisas to pardon her. If they had not pardoned, the qisas would have had to be carried out. Yes.

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."
