يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ كُتِبَ عَلَيۡكُمُ ٱلۡقِصَاصُ فِي ٱلۡقَتۡلَىۖ ٱلۡحُرُّ بِٱلۡحُرِّ وَٱلۡعَبۡدُ بِٱلۡعَبۡدِ وَٱلۡأُنثَىٰ بِٱلۡأُنثَىٰۚ فَمَنۡ عُفِيَ لَهُۥ مِنۡ أَخِيهِ شَيۡءٞ فَٱتِّبَاعُۢ بِٱلۡمَعۡرُوفِ وَأَدَآءٌ إِلَيۡهِ بِإِحۡسَٰنٖۗ ذَٰلِكَ تَخۡفِيفٞ مِّن رَّبِّكُمۡ وَرَحۡمَةٞۗ فَمَنِ ٱعۡتَدَىٰ بَعۡدَ ذَٰلِكَ فَلَهُۥ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٞ
(2:178) Believers! Retribution is prescribed for you in cases of killing:6
if a freeman is guilty then the freeman; if a slave is guilty then the slave;
if a female is guilty, then the female.7
But if something of a murderer’s guilt is remitted by his brother8
this should be adhered to in fairness,9 and payment be made in
a goodly manner. This is an alleviation and a mercy from your Lord; and for
him who commits excess after that0 there is a painful chastisement.

(2:180) It is decreed that when death approaches, those of you who leave
behind property shall bequeath equitably to parents and kinsmen. This is an
obligation on the God-fearing.2
