1506. THE PROHIBITION OF KILLING A SOUL [I.E. A HUMAN BEING]

(مِنْ أَجْلِ ذلِكَ كَتَبْنا عَلَى‏ بَنِي إِسْرَائيلَ أَنَّهُ مَنْ قَتَلَ نَفْسَاً بِغَيْرِ نَفْسٍ أوْ فَسادٍ فِي الأَرْضِ فَكَأَنَّما قَتَلَ النَّاسَ جَمِيعاً وَمَنْ أَحْياها فَكَأَنَّما أَحْيا النَّاسَ جَمِيعاً) .1

"That is why We decreed for the children of Israel that whoever kills a soul, without [its being guilty of] manslaughter or corruption on the earth, is as though he had killed all mankind, and whoever saves a life is as though he has saved all mankind." 2
