The meaning of the saying of Allah the Exalted: “So whoever transgresses against you, then transgress against him in the same manner as he has transgressed against you”

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The second question. The second question is: What is the interpretation of the verse
So whoever has assaulted you, then assault him in the same way that he has assaulted you.فَمَنِ اعْتَدَىٰ عَلَيْكُمْ فَاعْتَدُوا عَلَيْهِ بِمِثْلِ مَا اعْتَدَىٰ عَلَيْكُمْ
[Al-Baqarah 2:194]
? Does it apply to the believer?

The Shaykh:
It means retaliation, my brother. Retaliation in the case of a life and in cases less than a life. And one must not exceed the limit in retaliation; rather, it must be to the extent of the crime and only like it. Yes.

The questioner:
Okay, Shaykh, so now, for example, if a person insults me or curses me with a word, does the verse apply to that or not?

The Shaykh:
You should be patient with that. But if you respond to him with the same thing he said to you, there is no harm. Yes.
