And there is for you in legal retribution [saving of] life, O you [people] of understanding, that you may become righteous.
Al-Mukhtasar fi Tafsir
In the law of equivalent punishment decreed by Allah there is life for you, because it spares your blood, stopping further attacks between you. Those with sense understand this: who are mindful of Allah, keeping to His sacred law and doing as He instructs.
