(The guerdon of an ill deed is an ill the like thereof) the guerdon of wound is a wound like it. (But whosoever pardoneth) the wrong he suffers (and amendeth) and forgoes retaliation, (his wage is the affair of Allah) his reward is upon Allah. (Lo! He loveth not wrong-doers) he loves not those who initiate wrong.
- 42:4040
وَجَزَاءُ سَيِّئَةٍ سَيِّئَةٌ مِثْلُهَا ۖ فَمَنْ عَفَا وَأَصْلَحَ فَأَجْرُهُ عَلَى اللَّهِ ۚ إِنَّهُ لَا يُحِبُّ الظَّالِمِينَ
The retribution of evil is the equal of evil (done); yet those who forgive and rehabilitate will be rewarded by God. Verily He does not like those who do wrong.
