قَالَ الْحَارِثُ بْنُ مِسْكِينٍ قِرَاءَةً عَلَيْهِ وَأَنَا أَسْمَعُ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ كَانَ فِي بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ الْقِصَاصُ وَلَمْ تَكُنْ فِيهِمُ الدِّيَةُ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ‏{‏ كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الْقِصَاصُ فِي الْقَتْلَى الْحُرُّ بِالْحُرِّ وَالْعَبْدُ بِالْعَبْدِ وَالأُنْثَى بِالأُنْثَى ‏}‏ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ ‏{‏ فَمَنْ عُفِيَ لَهُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ شَىْءٌ فَاتِّبَاعٌ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَأَدَاءٌ إِلَيْهِ بِإِحْسَانٍ ‏}‏ فَالْعَفْوُ أَنْ يَقْبَلَ الدِّيَةَ فِي الْعَمْدِ وَاتِّبَاعٌ بِمَعْرُوفٍ يَقُولُ يَتَّبِعُ هَذَا بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَأَدَاءٌ بِإِحْسَانٍ وَيُؤَدِّي هَذَا بِإِحْسَانٍ ‏{‏ ذَلِكَ تَخْفِيفٌ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ وَرَحْمَةٌ ‏}‏ مِمَّا كُتِبَ عَلَى مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ إِنَّمَا هُوَ الْقِصَاصُ لَيْسَ الدِّيَةَ .

Narrator: Ibn 'Abbas

English translation
It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas said: "There was Qisas among the Children of Israel, but Diyah was unknown among them. Then Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, revealed: "Al-Qisas (the law of equality in punishment) is prescribed for your in case of murder: the free for the free, the slave for the slave, and the female for the female." Up to His saying: "But if the killer is forgiven by the brother 9or the relatives) of the killed against blood money, then adhering to it with fairness and payment of the blood money to the heir should be made in fairness."[2] Forgiveness means accepting the Diyah in the case of deliberate killing. Adhering to it in fairness means asking him to pay the Diyah in a fair manner, and payment in fairness means giving the Diyah in a fair manner. This is and alleviation and a mercy from you Lord,[1] means: This is easier thanthat which was prescribed for those who came before you, which was Qisas and not Diyah
বাংলা অনুবাদ
হারিস ইবন মিসকীন (রহঃ) ... ইবন আব্বাস (রাঃ) থেকে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, বনী ইসরাঈলের মধ্যে কিসাসের বিধান ছিল, কিন্তু দিয়াতের বিধান ছিল না, তখন আল্লাহ্ তা'আলা এই আয়াত নাযিল করেনঃ كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمْ الْقِصَاصُ فِي الْقَتْلَى الْحُرُّ بِالْحُرِّ وَالْعَبْدُ بِالْعَبْدِ وَالْأُنْثَى بِالْأُنْثَى إِلَى قَوْلِهِ فَمَنْ عُفِيَ لَهُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ شَيْءٌ فَاتِّبَاعٌ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَأَدَاءٌ إِلَيْهِ بِإِحْسَانٍ অর্থঃ নিহতদের ব্যাপারে তোমাদের উপর কিসাস ফরয করা হলো আযাদের বদলে আযাদ এবং দাসের পরিবর্তে দাস, নারীর পরিবর্তে নারী। আর যাকে তার ভাইয়ের পক্ষ হতে কিছুটা ক্ষমা করা হয়, সে যেন উত্তমরূপে তার দেয় আদায় করে।” ক্ষমা করার অর্থ এই যে, নিহত ব্যক্তির ওয়ারিসগণ ইচ্ছাকৃত হত্যার দিয়াত গ্রহণ করবে, আর ক্ষমাকারীগণ আইনমত চলবে। আর হত্যাকারী উত্তমরূপে দিয়াত আদায় করবে। “এটা তোমাদের রবের পক্ষ হতে ভার লাঘব এবং রহমত।” কেননা, তোমাদের পূর্ববর্তীদের উপর কেবল কিসাসই বিধেয় ছিল; দিয়াতের বিধান ছিল না।
