He said: With whom did you come out, and by whose permission did you come out?
We said: Messenger of Allah, we have come out to spin the hair, by which we provide aid in the cause of Allah. We have medicine for the wounded, we hand arrows (to the fighters), and supply drink made of wheat or barley.

They offered to pay compensatory money, but they refused. So they came to Prophet (ﷺ) who ordered retaliation. Anas bin Nadr said: ‘O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), will the tooth of Rubai’ be broken? By the One Who sent you with the truth, it will not be broken!’ The Prophet (ﷺ) said: ‘O Anas, what Allah has decreed is retaliation.’ So the people accepted that and forgave her. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘there are among the slaves of Allah those who, if they swear by Allah, Allah fulfills their oath.’”
