No opinion that opposes this ruling could stand correct, nor is there an authentic Hadith to contradict it. (The Muslim is not killed for the disbeliever (whom he kills).) So Allah commanded that justice be observed regarding the penal code, and that the path of the misguided and mischievous persons be avoided, who in disbelief and transgression, defy and alter what Allah has commanded them. If Nadir wanted (to forfeit the execution of the murderer and instead require him) to pay a ransom, the Quraizah man pays two hundred Wasq of dates double the amount Nadir pays in Diyah (blood money). However, when a person from Quraizah kills a Nadir man, he would be killed for him. Hence, (they made it a law that) when a person from Nadir kills a person from Quraizah, he is not killed in retaliation, but only pays a hundred Wasq of dates. The reason behind this statement is that (the Jewish tribe of) Banu An-Nadir invaded Qurayzah (another Jewish tribe) during the time of Jahiliyyah (before Islam) and defeated them. Therefore, do not transgress the set limits, as others before you transgressed them, and thus changed what Allah has ordained for them. The Command and the Wisdom behind the Law of EqualityĪllah states: O believers! The Law of equality has been ordained on you (for cases of murder), the free for the free, the slave for the slave and the female for the female.
