Bayhaqi 16299 — A sound man who destroys the eye of a one-eyed man

قَالَ: وَأَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ: فِي أَعْوَرَ فَقَأَ عَيْنَ رَجُلٍ صَحِيحٍ، قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ: قَضَى اللهُ فِي كِتَابِهِ أَنَّ الْعَيْنَ بِالْعَيْنِ، فَعَيْنُهُ قَوَدٌ، وَإِنْ كَانَ بَقِيَّةَ بَصَرِهِ.
Ibn Shihab al-Zuhri (may Allah have mercy on him) said regarding a one-eyed man who puts out the eye of a healthy man: Allah Almighty has said in the Qur'an: "The eye for the eye" [Surah al-Ma'idah: 45], so retaliation will be taken from him, even if it is all that remains of his sight.
