يٰٓاَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الْقِصَاصُ فِى الْقَتْلٰىۗ اَلْحُرُّ بِالْحُرِّ وَالْعَبْدُ بِالْعَبْدِ وَالْاُنْثٰى بِالْاُنْثٰىۗ فَمَنْ عُفِيَ لَهٗ مِنْ اَخِيْهِ شَيْءٌ فَاتِّبَاعٌ ۢبِالْمَعْرُوْفِ وَاَدَاۤءٌ اِلَيْهِ بِاِحْسَانٍ ۗ ذٰلِكَ تَخْفِيْفٌ مِّنْ رَّبِّكُمْ وَرَحْمَةٌ ۗفَمَنِ اعْتَدٰى بَعْدَ ذٰلِكَ فَلَهٗ عَذَابٌ اَلِيْمٌ ۝١٧٨

Yā ayyuhal-lażīna āmanū kutiba ‘alaikumul-qiṣōṣu fil-qotlā, al-ḥurru bil-ḥurri wal-‘abdu bil-‘abdi wal-unṡā bil-unṡā, faman ‘ufiya lahū min akhīhi syai'un fattibā‘um bil-ma‘rūfi wa adā-un ilaihi bi iḥsān, żālika takhfīfum mir robbikum wa roḥmah, fa mani‘tadā ba‘da żālika fa lahū ‘ażābun alīm

Meaning

O you who believe! Retaliation for the murdered is ordained upon you: the free for the free, the slave for the slave, the female for the female. But if he is forgiven by his kin, then grant any reasonable demand, and pay with good will. This is a concession from your Lord, and a mercy. But whoever commits aggression after that, a painful torment awaits him.
