What is the legal evidence from the Qur'an or Sunnah for intentional offenses against life short of murder, and for unintentional offenses against life short of murder?

Intentional injury to organs other than the soul necessitates Qisas (retaliation), unless there is a fear of it leading to the destruction of the soul, in which case Diyya (blood money) becomes obligatory. The evidence for this is the Almighty's saying: "And We ordained for them therein a life for a life, an eye for an eye, a nose for a nose, an ear for an ear, a tooth for a tooth, and for wounds is Qisas." This is also supported by the Hadith of Anas ibn Malik from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and the consensus of the Muslims.

As for unintentional injury to organs other than the soul, it necessitates Diyya (blood money), Arsh (compensation for injury), or a just government (a judge's ruling), based on details found in books of Fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence). Among the proofs for the obligation of Diyya in unintentional injury are: the long Hadith of Amr ibn Hazm, which specifies different Diyyat for various organs and wounds, and the Ahadith of Ibn Abbas and Amr ibn Shu'ayb from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, regarding the Diyya for fingers.
