It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, recited this verse: {وَکَتَبْنَا عَلَیْہِمْ فِیْہَا اَنَّ النَّفْسَ بِالنَّفْسِ وَالْعَیْنُ بِالْعَیْنِ} [المائدۃ: ۴۵] … We ordained for them: a life for a life, and an eye for an eye in retribution. He pronounced a zabar (fatḥa) on "nafs" and a pesh (ḍamma) on "al-‘ayn".
