It is not for a believer to kill a believer except (that it be) by
mistake, and whosoever kills a believer by mistake, (it is ordained that) he
must set free a believing slave and a compensation (blood money, i.e Diya) be
given to the deceased's family, unless they remit it. If the deceased belonged
to a people at war with you and he was a believer; the freeing of a believing
slave (is prescribed), and if he belonged to a people with whom you have a
treaty of mutual alliance, compensation (blood money - Diya) must be paid to
his family, and a believing slave must be freed. And whoso finds this (the
penance of freeing a slave) beyond his means, he must fast for two consecutive
months in order to seek repentance from Allâh. And Allâh is Ever
All¬Knowing, All¬Wise. (92) And whoever kills a believer intentionally, his
recompense is Hell to abide therein, and the Wrath and the Curse of Allâh are
upon him, and a great punishment is prepared for him.[] (93) O you who believe!
When you go (to fight) in the Cause of Allâh, verify (the truth), and say not
to anyone who greets you (by embracing Islâm): "You are not a
believer"; seeking the perishable goods of the worldly life. There are
much more profits and booties with Allâh. Even as he is now, so were you
yourselves before till Allâh conferred on you His Favours (i.e. guided you to
Islâm), therefore, be cautious in discrimination. Allâh is Ever
Well¬Aware of what you do. (94)
