من اجل ذلك كتبنا على بني اسرائيل انه من قتل نفسا بغير نفس او فساد في الارض فكانما قتل الناس جميعا ومن احياها فكانما احيا الناس جميعا ولقد جاءتهم رسلنا بالبينات ثم ان كثيرا منهم بعد ذلك في الارض لمسرفون

On that account: We ordained For the Children of Israel That if any one slew A person—unless it be For murder or for spreading Mischief in the land— It would be as if He slew the whole people: And if any one saved a life, It would be as if he saved The life of the whole people. Then although there came To them Our Apostles With Clear Signs, yet, Even after that, many Of them continued to commit Excesses in the land.
