وَلَكُمْ فِي الْقِصَاصِ حَيَاةٌ يَاْ أُولِيْ الأَلْبَابِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَتَّقُونَ
[2:179]
And there is life for you in (the law of) retaliation, O men of understanding, that you may guard yourselves.
In the Law of Equality there is (saving of) Life to you, o ye men of understanding; that ye may restrain yourselves.
And there is life for you in retaliation, O men of understanding, that ye may ward off (evil).
