4498 - حَدَّثَنَا الحُمَيْدِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرٌو، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ مُجَاهِدًا، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا، يَقُولُ: «كَانَ فِي بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ القِصَاصُ، وَلَمْ تَكُنْ فِيهِمُ الدِّيَةُ». فَقَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى لِهَذِهِ الأُمَّةِ: {كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ القِصَاصُ فِي القَتْلَى الحُرُّ بِالحُرِّ وَالعَبْدُ بِالعَبْدِ، وَالأُنْثَى بِالأُنْثَى، فَمَنْ عُفِيَ لَهُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ شَيْءٌ} [البقرة: 178] «فَالعَفْوُ أَنْ يَقْبَلَ الدِّيَةَ فِي العَمْدِ» {فَاتِّبَاعٌ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَأَدَاءٌ إِلَيْهِ بِإِحْسَانٍ} [البقرة: 178] «يَتَّبِعُ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَيُؤَدِّي بِإِحْسَانٍ» {ذَلِكَ تَخْفِيفٌ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ وَرَحْمَةٌ} [البقرة: 178] «مِمَّا كُتِبَ عَلَى مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ» {فَمَنِ اعْتَدَى بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ فَلَهُ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ} [البقرة: 178] «قَتَلَ بَعْدَ قَبُولِ الدِّيَةِ»
