o believers the lawn of retribution has been prescribed for you in cases of murder if a free man commits a murder the free man shall he punished for it and a slave for a slave likewise if a woman is guilty of murder the same shall he accountable for it. but in case the injured brother is willing to show leniency to the murderer the blood money should he decided in accordance with the common law and the murderer should pay it in a genuine way. this is an allowance and mercy from your lord. now there shall be a painful torment for anyone who transgresses the limits after this. o men of understanding.
يا أيها الذين آمنوا كتب عليكم القصاص في القتلى الحر بالحر والعبد بالعبد والأنثى بالأنثى فمن عفي له من أخيه شيء فاتباع بالمعروف وأداء إليه بإحسان ذلك تخفيف من ربكم ورحمة فمن اعتدى بعد ذلك فله عذاب أليم
