Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ أَبِي عَلِيِّ بْنِ يَزِيدَ أَخِي يُونُسَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَرَأَهَا { وَكَتَبْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ فِيهَا أَنَّ النَّفْسَ بِالنَّفْسِ وَالْعَيْنُ بِالْعَيْنِ } نَصَبَ النَّفْسَ وَرَفَعَ الْعَيْنَ.
English Translation
Yahya ibn Adam told us: Ibn al-Mubarak told us, from Yunus ibn Yazid, from Abu Ali ibn Yazid, brother of Yunus ibn Yazid, from al-Zuhri, from Anas ibn Malik, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, recited it: And We ordained for them therein that a life is for a life and an eye for an eye - putting nafs (life) in the accusative and ayn (eye) in the nominative.
