اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَمَنْ عُفِيَ لَهُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ شَيْءٌ فَاتِّباعٌ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَ أَداءٌ إِلَيْهِ بِإِحْسانٍ مَا ذَلِكَ الشَّيْءُ قَالَ هُوَ الرَّجُلُ يَقْبَلُ الدِّيَةَ فَأَمَرَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ الرَّجُلَ الَّذِي لَهُ الْحَقُّ أَنْ يَتَّبِعَهُ بِمَعْرُوفٍ وَ لَا يُعْسِرَهُ وَ أَمَرَ الَّذِي عَلَيْهِ الْحَقُّ أَنْ يُؤَدِّيَ إِلَيْهِ بِإِحْسَانٍ إِذَا أَيْسَرَ قُلْتُ أَ رَأَيْتَ قَوْلَهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَمَنِ اعْتَدى بَعْدَ ذلِكَ فَلَهُ عَذابٌ أَلِيمٌ قَالَ هُوَ الرَّجُلُ يَقْبَلُ الدِّيَةَ أَوْ يُصَالِحُ ثُمَّ يَجِيءُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَيُمَثِّلُ أَوْ يَقْتُلُ فَوَعَدَهُ اللَّهُ عَذَاباً أَلِيماً .
Translation
Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr, from Abdul Kareem, from Sama’at, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> regarding the Words of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:2#h178"><a href="/books/quran:2#h178">[2:178]</a></a> but if any remission is made to any one by his (aggrieved) brother then prosecution (for the blood wit) should be made according to usage, and payment should be made to him in a good manner</span>, what is that thing?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘He is the man who accepts the wergild, so Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic has Command the man for who is the right that he should follow it with the goodness and not (financially) constrict him, and Commanded the one upon whom is the (payment of) right that he should pay it with the goodness when he is financially solvent’ (capable). I said, ‘What is your view of the Words of the Mighty and Majestic <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:2#h178"><a href="/books/quran:2#h178">[2:178]</a></a> so whoever exceeds the limit after this he shall have a painful Punishment</span>?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘He is the man who accepts the wergild, or reconciles, then comes after that, so he tortures him or kills, so Allah<sup>azwj</sup> has Promised him a painful Punishment’.
