Sahih al-Bukhari 5295 (Book 68, Hadith 44) #5073
Justice for the Oppressed

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) ordered the murderer of a girl to be punished by crushing his head between two stones.

Narrated Anas bin Malik: During the lifetime of Allah's Messenger a Jew attacked a girl and took some silver ornaments she was wearing and crushed her head. Her relative brought her to the Prophet while she was in her last breaths, and she was unable to speak. Allah's Messenger asked her, "Who has hit you? So-and so?", mentioning somebody other than her murderer. She moved her head, indicating denial. The Prophet mentioned 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, agreeing. Then Allah's Messenger ; ordered that the head of that Jew be crushed between two stones.
وَقَالَ الأُوَيْسِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ شُعْبَةَ بْنِ الْحَجَّاجِ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ عَدَا يَهُودِيٌّ فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ عَلَى جَارِيَةٍ، فَأَخَذَ أَوْضَاحًا كَانَتْ عَلَيْهَا وَرَضَخَ رَأْسَهَا، فَأَتَى بِهَا أَهْلُهَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَهْىَ فِي آخِرِ رَمَقٍ، وَقَدْ أُصْمِتَتْ، فَقَالَ لَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ مَنْ قَتَلَكِ فُلاَنٌ ‏"‏‏.‏ لِغَيْرِ الَّذِي قَتَلَهَا، فَأَشَارَتْ بِرَأْسِهَا أَنْ لاَ، قَالَ فَقَالَ لِرَجُلٍ آخَرَ غَيْرِ الَّذِي قَتَلَهَا، فَأَشَارَتْ أَنْ لاَ، فَقَالَ ‏"‏ فَفُلاَنٌ ‏"‏‏.‏ لِقَاتِلِهَا فَأَشَارَتْ أَنْ نَعَمْ، فَأَمَرَ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فَرُضِخَ رَأْسُهُ بَيْنَ حَجَرَيْنِ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about justice and punishment for those who oppress others. It tells us that no matter how powerful someone may be, they will still be held accountable for their actions. The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) was asked to judge a case where a Jew had attacked and killed a young girl. He asked her who had done this, but she was unable to speak due to her injuries. However, when he mentioned the name of her murderer, she nodded in agreement. In response, the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) ordered that the head of that Jew should be crushed between two stones as punishment for his crime. This teaches us that justice must prevail and those who commit wrongdoings must face consequences for their actions regardless of their social status or power in society.
