wa-jazāʾu sayyiʾatin sayyiʾatun mithluhā fa-man ʿafā wa-ʾaṣlaḥa fa-ʾajruhū ʿalā llāhi ʾinnahū lā yuḥibbu ẓ-ẓālimīna
The recompense for an injury is an injury equal thereto (in degree): but if a person forgives and makes reconciliation, his reward is due from Allah: for (Allah) loveth not those who do wrong.
— Abdullah Yusufali
The requital of evil is an evil like it, so whoever excuses and conciliates, his reward lies with Allah. Indeed, He does not like the wrongdoers.
