Ahmed Raza Khan: Mohammed Aqib Qadri:
O People who Believe! Retribution is made obligatory for
you in the matter of those killed unjustly; a freeman for a
freeman, and a slave for a slave, and a female for a female;
and for him who is partly forgiven by his brother, seek
compensation with courtesy and make payment in proper manner;
this is a relief and a mercy upon you, from your Lord; so
after this, a painful punishment is for whoever exceeds the
limits.
