2. Surat al-Baqarah
٢۔ سُورَةُ البَقَرَة
You who believe, fair retribution is prescribed for you in cases of murder: the free man for the free man, the slave for the slave, the female for the female. But if the culprit is pardoned by his aggrieved brother, this shall be adhered to fairly, and the culprit shall pay what is due in a good way. This is an alleviation from your Lord and an act of mercy. If anyone then exceeds these limits, grievous suffering awaits him.
Fair retribution saves life for you, people of understanding, so that you may guard yourselves against what is wrong. When death approaches one of you who leaves wealth,
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ ٱلْقِصَاصُ فِي ٱلْقَتْلَىۖ ٱلْحُرُّ بِٱلْحُرِّ وَٱلْعَبْدُ بِٱلْعَبْدِ وَٱلْأُنثَىٰ بِٱلْأُنثَىٰۚ فَمَنْ عُفِيَ لَهُۥ مِنْ أَخِيهِ شَيْءࣱ فَٱتِّبَاعُۢ بِٱلْمَعْرُوفِ وَأَدَآءٌ إِلَيْهِ بِإِحْسَٰنࣲۗ ذَٰلِكَ تَخْفِيفࣱ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ وَرَحْمَةࣱۗ فَمَنِ ٱعْتَدَىٰ بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ فَلَهُۥ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمࣱ
وَلَكُمْ فِي ٱلْقِصَاصِ حَيَوٰةࣱ يَٰٓأُو۟لِي ٱلْأَلْبَٰبِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ
it is prescribed that he should make a proper bequest to parents and close relatives- a duty incumbent on those who are mindful of God.
If anyone alters the bequest after hearing it, the guilt of the alteration will fall on them: God is all hearing and all knowing.
But if anyone knows that the testator has made a mistake, or done wrong, and so puts things right between the parties, he will incur no sin: God is most forgiving and merciful.
كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمْ إِذَا حَضَرَ أَحَدَكُمُ ٱلْمَوْتُ إِن تَرَكَ خَيْرًا ٱلْوَصِيَّةُ لِلْوَٰلِدَيْنِ وَٱلْأَقْرَبِينَ بِٱلْمَعْرُوفِۖ حَقًّا عَلَى ٱلْمُتَّقِينَ
فَمَنۢ بَدَّلَهُۥ بَعْدَ مَا سَمِعَهُۥ فَإِنَّمَآ إِثْمُهُۥ عَلَى ٱلَّذِينَ يُبَدِّلُونَهُۥٓۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمࣱ
فَمَنْ خَافَ مِن مُّوصࣲ جَنَفًا أَوْ إِثْمࣰا فَأَصْلَحَ بَيْنَهُمْ فَلَآ إِثْمَ عَلَيْهِۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورࣱ رَّحِيمࣱ
