And it does not behoove a believer to kill a believer except by mistake , and whoever kills a believer by mistake , he should free a believing slave , and blood-money should be paid to his people unless they remit it as alms ; but if he be from a tribe hostile to you and he is a believer , the freeing of a believing slave ( suffices ) , and if he is from a tribe between whom and you there is a convenant , the blood-money should be paid to his people along with the freeing of a believing slave ; but he who cannot find ( a slave ) should fast for two months successively : a penance from Allah , and Allah is Knowing , Wise .
