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. There is security of life
for you in the law of retribution. It is
expected that you will refrain from breaking this law.
