وَمَا And not wamā is kāna for a believer limu'minin that an he kills yaqtula a believer mu'minan except illā (by) mistake khaṭa-an And whoever waman killed qatala a believer mu'minan (by) mistake khaṭa-an then freeing fataḥrīru (of) a slave raqabatin believing mu'minatin and blood money wadiyatun (is to be) paid musallamatun to ilā his family ahlihi unless illā that an they remit (as) charity yaṣṣaddaqū But if fa-in (he) was kāna from min a people qawmin hostile ʿaduwwin to you lakum and he was wahuwa a believer mu'minun then freeing fataḥrīru (of) a believing slave raqabatin believing mu'minatin And if wa-in (he) was kāna from min a people qawmin between you baynakum and between them wabaynahum (is) a treaty mīthāqun then blood money fadiyatun (is to be) paid musallamatun to ilā his family ahlihi and freeing wataḥrīru (of) a slave raqabatin believing mu'minatin And whoever faman (does) not lam find yajid then fasting faṣiyāmu (for) two months shahrayni consecutively mutatābiʿayni (seeking) repentance tawbatan from mina Allah l-lahi and is wakāna Allah l-lahu All-Knowing ʿalīman All-Wise ḥakīman
And never is it for a believer to kill a believer except by mistake. And whoever kills a believer by mistake - then the freeing of a believing slave and a compensation payment [diyah] presented to his [i.e., the deceased's] family [is required], unless they give [up their right as] charity. But if he [i.e., the deceased] was from a people at war with you and he was a believer - then [only] the freeing of a believing slave; and if he was from a people with whom you have a treaty - then a compensation payment presented to his family and the freeing of a believing slave. And whoever does not find [one or cannot afford to buy one] - then [instead], a fast for two months consecutively,1 [seeking] acceptance of repentance from Allāh.2 And Allāh is ever Knowing and Wise.
وَمَن And whoever waman kills yaqtul a believer mu'minan intentionally mutaʿammidan then his recompense fajazāuhu (is) Hell jahannamu abiding forever khālidan in it fīhā and will fall the wrath waghaḍiba (of) Allah l-lahu on him ʿalayhi and He (will) curse him walaʿanahu and He has prepared wa-aʿadda for him lahu a punishment ʿadhāban great ʿaẓīman
But whoever kills a believer intentionally - his recompense is Hell, wherein he will abide eternally, and Allāh has become angry with him and has cursed him and has prepared for him a great punishment.
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا O you yāayyuhā who alladhīna believe[d] āmanū When idhā you go forth ḍarabtum in fī (the) way sabīli (of) Allah l-lahi then investigate fatabayyanū and (do) not walā say taqūlū to (the one) who liman offers alqā to you ilaykumu (a greeting of) peace l-salāma You are not lasta a believer mu'minan seeking tabtaghūna transitory gains ʿaraḍa (of) the life l-ḥayati (of) the world l-dun'yā for with faʿinda Allah l-lahi (are) booties maghānimu abundant kathīratun Like that kadhālika you were kuntum from min before qablu then conferred favor famanna Allah l-lahu upon you ʿalaykum so investigate fatabayyanū Indeed inna Allah l-laha is kāna of what bimā you do taʿmalūna All-Aware khabīran
O you who have believed, when you go forth [to fight] in the cause of Allāh, investigate; and do not say to one who gives you [a greeting of] peace, "You are not a believer,"1 aspiring for the goods of worldly life; for with Allāh are many acquisitions. You [yourselves] were like that before; then Allāh conferred His favor [i.e., guidance] upon you, so investigate. Indeed Allāh is ever, of what you do, Aware.
