2:66البقرةAl-Baqarah

فَجَعَلْنَـٰهَا نَكَـٰلًا لِّمَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهَا وَمَا خَلْفَهَا وَمَوْعِظَةً لِّلْمُتَّقِينَ

اسے ہم نے اگلوں پچھلوں کے لئے عبرت کا سبب بنا دیا اور پرہیزگاروں کے لئے وعظ ونصیحت کا۔

And We made it a deterrent punishment for those who were present and those who succeeded [them] and a lesson for those who fear Allāh.

5:38المائدةAl-Ma'idah

وَٱلسَّارِقُ وَٱلسَّارِقَةُ فَٱقْطَعُوٓا۟ أَيْدِيَهُمَا جَزَآءًۢ بِمَا كَسَبَا نَكَـٰلًا مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ

چوری کرنے والے مرد اور عورت کے ہاتھ کاٹ دیا کرو۔ یہ بدلہ ہے اس کا جو انہوں نے کیا۔ عذاب، اللہ کی طرف سے اور اللہ تعالیٰ قوت وحکمت واﻻ ہے۔

[As for] the thief, the male and the female, amputate their hands in recompense for what they earned [i.e., committed] as a deterrent [punishment] from Allāh. And Allāh is Exalted in Might and Wise.
