حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ كَانَتْ فِي بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ قِصَاصٌ، وَلَمْ تَكُنْ فِيهِمُ الدِّيَةُ فَقَالَ اللَّهُ لِهَذِهِ الأُمَّةِ ‏{‏كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الْقِصَاصُ فِي الْقَتْلَى‏}‏ إِلَى هَذِهِ الآيَةِ ‏{‏فَمَنْ عُفِيَ لَهُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ شَىْءٌ‏}‏. قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ فَالْعَفْوُ أَنْ يَقْبَلَ الدِّيَةَ فِي الْعَمْدِ، قَالَ ‏{‏فَاتِّبَاعٌ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ‏}‏ أَنْ يَطْلُبَ بِمَعْرُوفٍ وَيُؤَدِّيَ بِإِحْسَانٍ.

Narrator: Ibn `Abbas

English translation
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: For the children of Israel the punishment for crime was Al-Qisas only (i.e., the law of equality in punishment) and the payment of Blood money was not permitted as an alternate. But Allah said to this nation (Muslims): 'O you who believe! Qisas is prescribed for you in case of murder, .....(up to) ...end of the Verse. (2.178) Ibn `Abbas added: Remission (forgiveness) in this Verse, means to accept the Blood-money in an intentional murder. Ibn `Abbas added: The Verse: 'Then the relatives should demand Blood-money in a reasonable manner.' (2.178) means that the demand should be reasonable and it is to be compensated with handsome gratitude
বাংলা অনুবাদ
ইবনু ‘আব্বাস (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, বনী ইসরাঈলদের মাঝে কিসাসের বিধান কার্যকর ছিল। তাদের মাঝে রক্তপণের বিধান ছিল না। তবে আল্লাহ্ এ উম্মাতকে বললেনঃ নরহত্যার ক্ষেত্রে তোমাদের জন্য কিসাসের বিধান দেয়া হয়েছে .... কিন্তু তার ভাইয়ের পক্ষ হতে কিছুটা ক্ষমা করা হলে পর্যন্ত- (সূরাহ আল-বাক্বারাহ ২/১৭৮)। ইবনু ‘আব্বাস (রাঃ) বলেন, ক্ষমা করার অর্থ হলো ইচ্ছাকৃতভাবে হত্যার ক্ষেত্রে রক্তপণ গ্রহণ করা। তিনি বলেন, আর প্রচলিত প্রথার অনুসরণ করার অর্থ হচ্ছে, ন্যায়সঙ্গত দাবি ও দয়ার সঙ্গে দায়িত্ব আদায় করা। [৪৪৯৮] (আধুনিক প্রকাশনী- ৬৪০২, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশন)
