وَكَتَبْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ ف۪يهَٓا اَنَّ النَّفْسَ بِالنَّفْسِۙ وَالْعَيْنَ بِالْعَيْنِ وَالْاَنْفَ بِالْاَنْفِ وَالْاُذُنَ بِالْاُذُنِ وَالسِّنَّ بِالسِّنِّۙ وَالْجُرُوحَ قِصَاصٌۜ فَمَنْ تَصَدَّقَ بِه۪ فَهُوَ كَفَّارَةٌ لَهُۜ وَمَنْ لَمْ يَحْكُمْ بِمَٓا اَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ فَاُو۬لٰٓئِكَ هُمُ الظَّالِمُونَ ٤٥

English Translation
45In it We prescribed for them: a life for a life, an eye for an eye, a nose for a nose, an ear for an ear, a tooth for a tooth, and for wounds an equivalent penalty. But whoever forgoes his right, it will be an expiation for his sins. Those who do not judge by what Allah has sent down, it is they who are the wrongdoers who persist in error.
