أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، أنبأ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ الطَّرَائِفِيُّ، ثنا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ صَالِحٍ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ ⦗٧٢⦘ عَبَّاسٍ، فِي قَوْلِهِ: {الْحُرُّ بِالْحُرِّ وَالْعَبْدُ بِالْعَبْدِ وَالْأُنْثَى بِالْأُنْثَى} [البقرة: ١٧٨] قَالَ: كَانُوا لَا يَقْتُلُونَ الرَّجُلَ بِالْمَرْأَةِ، وَلَكِنْ يَقْتُلُونَ الرَّجُلَ بِالرَّجُلِ، وَالْمَرْأَةَ بِالْمَرْأَةِ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: {النَّفْسَ بِالنَّفْسِ} [المائدة: ٤٥] قَالَ: فَجَعَلَ الْأَحْرَارَ فِي الْقِصَاصِ سَوَاءً فِيمَا بَيْنَهُمْ فِي الْعَمْدِ، رِجَالَهُمْ وَنِسَاءَهُمْ فِي النَّفْسِ وَفِيمَا دُونَ النَّفْسِ، وَجَعَلَ الْعَبِيدَ مُسْتَوِينَ فِيمَا بَيْنَهُمْ فِي الْعَمْدِ فِي النَّفْسِ وَفِيمَا دُونَ النَّفْسِ، رِجَالَهُمْ وَنِسَاءَهُمْ.
It is reported from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) regarding the statement of Allah Almighty: "The free for the free, the slave for the slave, and the female for the female" [Surah al-Baqarah: 178], that (each) is to be killed (in retaliation). He said: A man used not to be killed for a woman; rather, a man was killed for a man and a woman for a woman. Then Allah Almighty revealed this verse: "A life for a life" [Surah al-Ma'idah: 45]. So the free, men and women, became equal in retaliation, and slaves, men and women, became equal, in that it is a life for a life.
