English translation
4736. It was narrated from Simâk, from 'Ikrimah, that Ibn 'Abbâs said: "There were (the two tribes of) Quraizah and An-Naḏîr, and An-Naḏîr was nobler than Quraizah. If a man of Quraizah killed a man of An-Naḏîr, he would be killed in return, but if a man of An-Naḏîr killed a man of Quraizah, he would pay a Diyah of one hundred Wasqs of dates. When the Prophet ﷺ was sent, a man of An-Naḏîr killed a man of Quraizah, and they said: 'Hand him over to us and we will kill him.' They said: 'Between us and you (as judge) is the Prophet ﷺ.' So they came to him, then the following was revealed: "And if you judge, judge with justice between them."[3] Al-Qist (justice) means a soul for a soul. Then the following was revealed: "Do they then seek the judgment of (the days of) Ignorance?"[4] (Da'if)
