[Machine] "In His statement, 'the free for the free, the slave for the slave, and the female for the female' [Surah Al-Baqarah 2:178], it is said that they used to not kill a man for a woman, but they would kill a man for another man, and a woman for another woman. So Allah revealed, 'life for life' [Surah Al-Ma'idah 5:45]. He made the free people equal in retaliation among themselves, whether it was in terms of their male or female slaves, for the sake of life and other than life. And He made the slaves equal among themselves in terms of retaliation, whether it was in terms of their male or female slaves, for the sake of life and other than life."
