126وَإِن عاقَبتُم فَعاقِبوا بِمِثلِ ما عوقِبتُم بِهِ ۖ وَلَئِن صَبَرتُم لَهُوَ خَيرٌ لِلصّابِرينَ(Saheeh International)And if you punish [an enemy, O believers], punish with an equivalent of that with which you were harmed.1 But if you are patient – it is better for those who are patient. Not exceeding it.
