178. O ye who believe! the law of equality is prescribed to you in cases of murder: the
free for the free, the slave for the slave, the woman for the woman. But if any remission
is made by the brother of the slain, then grant any reasonable demand, and compensate
him with handsome gratitude, this is a concession and a Mercy from your Lord. After this
whoever exceeds the limits shall be in grave penalty.
179. Walakum fee alqisasi hayatun ya olee al-albabi laAAallakum tattaqoon

179. In the Law of Equality there is (saving of) Life to you, o ye men of understanding;
that ye may restrain yourselves.
