It is not for a believer to kill a believer except (that it be) by mistake, and whosoever kills a believer by mistake, (it is ordained that) he must set free a believing slave and a compensation (blood money, i.e. Diya) be given to the deceased's family, unless they remit it. If the deceased belonged to a people at war with you and he was a believer; the freeing of a believing slave (is prescribed), and if he belonged to a people with whom you have a treaty of mutual alliance, compensation (blood money - Diya) must be paid to his family, and a believing slave must be freed. And whoso finds this (the penance of freeing a slave) beyond his means, he must fast for two consecutive months in order to seek repentance from Allah. And Allah is Ever All-Knowing, All-Wise.
Na haiwi Muumini kumuuwa Muumini ila kwa kukosea. Na mwenye kumuuwa Muumini kwa kukosea basi amkomboe mtumwa aliye Muumini, na atoe diya kuwapa jamaa za maiti, isipo kuwa waache wenyewe kuwa ni sadaka. Na akiwa ni jamaa wa maadui zenu, hali yeye ni Muumini, basi ni kumkomboa mtumwa aliye Muumini. Na akiwa ni miongoni wa watu ambao pana ahadi baina yenu na wao basi wapewe diya watu wake na akombolewe mtumwa Muumini. Na asiye pata, basi afunge miezi miwili mfululizo, kuwa ni toba kwa Mwenyezi Mungu. Na Mwenyezi Mungu ni Mjuzi na Mwenye hikima.
