أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، وَأَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو، قَالَا: ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ الْعَسْقَلَانِيُّ، ثنا آدَمُ، ثنا أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ، عَنِ الرَّبِيعِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الْعَالِيَةِ، {فَمَنِ اعْتَدَى} [البقرة: ١٧٨] فَقَتَلَ بَعْدَ أَخْذِهِ الدِّيَةَ {فَلَهُ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ} [البقرة: ١٧٨]، {ذَلِكَ تَخْفِيفٌ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ وَرَحْمَةٌ} [البقرة: ١٧٨] يَقُولُ: حِينَ أُطْعِمْتُمُ الدِّيَةَ، وَلَمْ تَحِلَّ لِأَهْلِ التَّوْرَاةِ، إِنَّمَا هُوَ قِصَاصٌ أَوْ عَفْوٌ، وَكَانَ لِأَهْلِ الْإِنْجِيلِ إِنَّمَا هُوَ عَفْوٌ لَيْسَ غَيْرُهُ، فَجُعِلَ لِهَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ الْقَوَدُ وَالدِّيَةُ وَالْعَفْوُ، {وَلَكُمْ فِي الْقِصَاصِ حَيَاةٌ} [البقرة: ١٧٩] يَقُولُ: جَعَلَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ الْقِصَاصَ حَيَاةً لَكُمْ مِنْ رَجُلٍ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَقْتُلَ فَيَمْنَعَهُ مِنْهُ مَخَافَةَ أَنْ يُقْتَلَ.
Rabi' bin Anas (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates from Abu al-Aliyah (may Allah have mercy on him) regarding "Then whoever transgresses" [Surah al-Baqarah: 178]: that is, killing after taking the blood money (diyah). "He will have a painful punishment. That is a concession from your Lord and a mercy" [Surah al-Baqarah: 178]: its meaning is that for the Jews there was no blood money in the case of killing; there was either pardon or retaliation (qisas), and for the people of the Injil (the Christians) there was only pardon, whereas Allah has given this Ummah all three concessions: if you wish, kill in retaliation; if you wish, take the blood money; if you wish, forgive. "And there is life for you in retaliation" [Surah al-Baqarah: 179]: that is, Allah has made retaliation a means of life, in that if someone is killed in retaliation, others will take heed from it.
