وَمَا كَانَ لِمُؤْمِنٍ أَنْ يَقْتُلَ مُؤْمِنا ً إِلاَّ خَطَأ ً وَمَنْ قَتَلَ مُؤْمِناً خَطَأ ً فَتَحْرِيرُ رَقَبَة ٍ مُؤْمِنَة ٍ وَدِيَة ٌ مُسَلَّمَة ٌ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ~ِ إِلاَّ أَنْ يَصَّدَّقُوا فَإِنْ كَانَ مِنْ قَوْمٍ عَدُوّ ٍ لَكُمْ وَهُوَ مُؤْمِن ٌ فَتَحْرِيرُ رَقَبَة ٍ مُؤْمِنَة ٍ وَإِنْ كَانَ مِنْ قَوْم ٍ بَيْنَكُمْ وَبَيْنَهُمْ مِيثَاق ٌ فَدِيَة ٌ مُسَلَّمَة ٌ إِلَى أَهْلِه ِِ وَتَحْرِيرُ رَقَبَة ٍ مُؤْمِنَة ٍ فَمَنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ فَصِيَامُ شَهْرَيْنِ مُتَتَابِعَيْنِ تَوْبَة ً مِنَ اللَّهِ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ عَلِيماً حَكِيما ً

And it is not for a believer to kill another believer except by accident. And whoever kills a believer by accident, then he shall free a believing slave, and give compensation to the family; except if they remit it. If he was from a people who are enemies to you, and he was a believer, then you shall free a believing slave. And if he was from a people with whom you have a covenant, then a compensation to his family, and free a believing slave. Whoever does not find, then the fasting of two months sequentially as a repentance from God; for God is Knowledgeable, Wise.

أَنزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَاء ً فَسَالَتْ أَوْدِيَة ٌ بِقَدَرِهَا فَاحْتَمَلَ السَّيْلُ زَبَدا ً رَابِيا ً وَمِمَّا يُوقِدُونَ عَلَيْهِ فِي النَّارِ ابْتِغَاءَ حِلْيَةٍ أَوْ مَتَاع ٍ زَبَد ٌ مِثْلُه ُُ كَذَلِكَ يَضْرِبُ اللَّهُ الْحَقَّ وَالْبَاطِلَ فَأَمَّا الزَّبَدُ فَيَذْهَبُ جُفَاء ً وَأَمَّا مَا يَنفَعُ النَّاسَ فَيَمْكُثُ فِي الأَرْضِ كَذَلِكَ يَضْرِبُ اللَّهُ الأَمْثَالَ

He sends down water from the sky, so valleys flow according to their capacity, and the flood produces foam. And from what they burn to smelt jewelry or goods is produced a similar foam. It is in such a manor that God strikes the falsehood with the truth. As for the foam, it passes away, and as for what benefits the people, it remains in the earth. It is such that God puts forth the examples.
