Bayhaqi 15903 — Killing a man in retaliation for a woman
قَالَ اللهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى: {وَكَتَبْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ فِيهَا أَنَّ النَّفْسَ بِالنَّفْسِ} [المائدة: 45]. وَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " الْمُسْلِمُونَ تَتَكَافَأُ دِمَاؤُهُمْ ".
Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, says: "And We prescribed for them therein (in the Torah) that a life is for a life." [Surah al-Ma'idah: 45]
And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The blood of the Muslims is equal (in retaliation), one to another."

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو، ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ الْأَصَمُّ، ثنا بَحْرُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، ثنا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الْقِصَاصُ فِي الْقَتْلَى} [البقرة: ١٧٨] الْآيَةَ كُلَّهَا، ثُمَّ قَالَ: {وَكَتَبْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ فِيهَا أَنَّ النَّفْسَ بِالنَّفْسِ} [المائدة: ٤٥] الْآيَةَ كُلَّهَا. قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ فَلَمَّا نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ أُقِيدَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ مِنَ الرَّجُلِ، وَفِيمَا يُعْمَدُ مِنَ الْجِرَاحِ..
Ibn Shihab (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, says: "O you who believe, retaliation is prescribed for you in the case of those who are killed" [Surah al-Baqarah: 178] (the whole verse). Then He says: "And We prescribed for them therein that a life is for a life" [Surah al-Ma'idah: 45] (the whole verse). Ibn Shihab said: When this verse was revealed, retaliation was taken from a man for a woman, and also in deliberately inflicted wounds.
It is authentic up to Ibn Shihab (may Allah have mercy on him).
