[Machine] In His saying, "So whoever is forgiven something from his brother" [Surah Al-Baqarah 2:178], it is said that if a person is intentionally killed, and the guardian of the deceased forgives the killer and does not seek retaliation, and accepts the compensation for blood, it should be done with good conduct. It is said to encourage the seeker to ask nicely, then the requested person returns and says, "And pay him in good conduct" [Surah Al-Baqarah 2:178], meaning that the requested person should pay the blood compensation in good conduct to the one seeking it. It is mentioned that it was written in the Torah, and it was mentioned in a similar manner in the narration of Ash-Shafi'i. And in His saying, "Then for him is a painful punishment" [Surah Al-Baqarah 2:178], it is said that if a person accepts the blood compensation and then kills, there is a painful punishment for him. It is said that the reason is that when a person is killed, his guardian seeks retribution and the killer hides. The guardian of the deceased says, "I accept the blood compensation" and the killer accepts it until the killer emerges, then the guardian of the deceased kills him, even though the blood compensation was already accepted before. And he used to say, "I only accepted the blood compensation so that the killer would return, and then I would kill him when he appeared." Allah says, "So whoever is aggressive" [Surah Al-Baqarah 2:178], and kills after accepting the blood compensation, "Then for him is a painful punishment" [Surah Al-Baqarah 2:178].
