The repayment of a bad action is one equivalent to it. But whoever pardons and makes reconciliation, his reward lies with Allah. He does not love the unjust.

The guerdon of an ill-deed is an ill the like thereof. But whosoever pardoneth and amendeth, his wage is the affair of Allah. Lo! He loveth not wrong-doers.

Kötülüğün cezası da misli kötülüktür, fakat her kim afvedip ıslâh ederse onun da ecri Allahadır, her halde o zalimleri sevmez

Et rendent pour le mal un mal égal. Celui cependant qui pardonne et se réconcilie avec son adversaire, Dieu lui devra une récompense ; car il n’aime pas les oppresseurs.

E rendono male per male. Tuttavia a colui che perdona e si riconcilia, Dio dovrà una ricompensa; poichè egli non ama i malvagi.
