against anyone who wounds another until the injured person has completely recovered, as narrated by Ahmad and al-Daraqutni.

By this, dear Muslim, you witness the beauties of the divine law: its flawless justice and all-embracing mercy. Allah the Exalted has spoken the truth: “The Word of your Lord has been perfected in truth and justice. No one can alter His words, for He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing.”

So woe to those who exchange it for something else—the rulings of false authorities and the man-made statutes that are deficient and oppressive: “Evil indeed is the substitute for the wrongdoers.” And all praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds.
