حديث أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ: عَدَا يَهُودِيٌّ، فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، عَلَى جَارِيَةٍ، فَأَخَذَ أَوْضَاحًا كَانَتْ عَلَيْهَا، وَرَضَخَ رَأْسَهَا؛ فَأَتَى بِهَا أَهْلُهَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَهِيَ فِي آخِرِ رَمَقٍ، وَقَدْ أُصْمِتَتْ فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: مَنْ قَتَلَكِ، فُلَانٌ لِغَيْرِ الَّذِي قَتَلَهَا، فَأَشَارَتْ بِرَأْسِهَا أَنْ لَا قَالَ، فَقَالَ لِرَجُلٍ آخَرَ غَيْرِ الَّذِي قَتَلَهَا فَأَشَارَتْ أَنْ لَا، فَقَالَ: فَفُلَانٌ لِقَاتِلِهَا فَأَشَارَتْ أَنْ نَعَمْ؛ فَأَمَرَ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَرُضِخَ رَأْسُهُ بَيْنَ حَجَرَيْن.
Anas bin Malik Narrated from:
During the lifetime of Allâh's Messenger ﷺ, a Jew attacked a girl and took some silver ornaments she was wearing, and crushed her head. Her relatives brought her to the Prophet ﷺ while she was in her last breaths and she was unable to speak. Allâh's Messenger ﷺ asked her, "Who has hit you? So-and-so?", mentioning somebody other than her murderer. She moved her head, indicating denial.The Prophet ﷺ mentioned the name of another person other than the murderer, and she again moved her head indicating denial. Then he asked, "Was it so-and-so?" mentioning the name of her killer. She nodded in agreement. Then Allâh's Messenger ﷺ ordered that the head of the murderer be crushed between two stones. ( Sahîh Al-Bukhâri, Hadith No. 216 (B), Vol. 7 )
