In the Quran

لَئِنۢ بَسَطتَ إِلَىَّ يَدَكَ لِتَقْتُلَنِى مَآ أَنَا۠ بِبَاسِطٍۢ يَدِىَ إِلَيْكَ لِأَقْتُلَكَ ۖ إِنِّىٓ أَخَافُ ٱللَّهَ رَبَّ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ

اور اگر تو مجھے قتل کرنے کے لیے مجھ پر ہاتھ چلائے گا تو میں تجھ کو قتل کرنے کے لئے تجھ پر ہاتھ نہیں چلاؤں گا مجھے تو خدائے رب العالمین سے ڈر لگتا ہے

Even if thou stretch out thy hand against me to kill me, I shall not stretch out my hand against thee to kill thee, lo! I fear Allah, the Lord of the Worlds.
