فَمِنْ ذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُمْ الْقَتْلُ أَنْفَى لِلْقَتْلِ، مَذْكُورٌ فِي قَوْلِهِ وَلَكُمْ فِي الْقِصَاصِ حَيَاةٌ
Among them their saying: 'Killing prevents killing' is mentioned in His saying: 'And there is for you in legal retribution [saving of] life.'
لِلْقَتْلِ — for killing. This is the preposition 'for, against' merged with 'the killing' (definite via 'al-'). It marks what the deterring works against, completing 'more deterring of killing'. The preposition forces a genitive on the noun and links the comparison to its target.
