And never is it for a believer to kill a believer except by mistake. And whoever kills a believer by mistake - then the freeing of a believing slave and a compensation payment presented to the deceased's family [is required] unless they give [up their right as] charity. But if the deceased was from a people at war with you and he was a believer - then [only] the freeing of a believing slave; and if he was from a people with whom you have a treaty - then a compensation payment presented to his family and the freeing of a believing slave. And whoever does not find [one or cannot afford to buy one] - then [instead], a fast for two months consecutively, [seeking] acceptance of repentance from Allah. And Allah is ever Knowing and Wise. - Quran An-Nisa(The Women) 4:92 (islam)

Praises, and He has power over all things (i.e. Omnipotent)", one will get the reward of manumitting
ten slaves, and one-hundred good deeds will be written in his account, and one-hundred bad deeds will
be wiped off or erased from his account, and on that day he will be protected from the morning till
evening from Satan, and nobody will be superior to him except one who has done more than that
