2:253
۞تِلۡكَ
These
ٱلرُّسُلُ
(are) the Messengers
فَضَّلۡنَا
We (have) preferred
بَعۡضَهُمۡ
some of them
عَلَىٰ
over
بَعۡضٍ‌ۘ
others
مِّنۡهُم
Among them
مَّن
(were those with) whom
كَلَّمَ
spoke
ٱللَّهُ‌ۖ
Allah
وَرَفَعَ
and He raised
بَعۡضَهُمۡ
some of them
دَرَجَـٰتٍ‌ۚ
(in) degrees
وَءَاتَيۡنَا
And We gave
عِيسَى
Isa
ٱبۡنَ
son
مَرۡيَمَ
(of) Maryam
ٱلۡبَيِّنَـٰتِ
the clear proofs
وَأَيَّدۡنَـٰهُ
and We supported him
بِرُوحِ
with Spirit
ٱلۡقُدُسِ‌ۗ
[the] Holy
وَلَوۡ
And if
شَآءَ
(had) willed
ٱللَّهُ
Allah
مَا
not
ٱقۡتَتَلَ
(would have) fought each other
ٱلَّذِينَ
those who
مِنۢ
(came) from
بَعۡدِهِم
after them
مِّنۢ
from
بَعۡدِ
after
مَا
[what]
جَآءَتۡهُمُ
came to them
ٱلۡبَيِّنَـٰتُ
the clear proofs
وَلَـٰكِنِ
[And] but
ٱخۡتَلَفُواۡ
they differed
فَمِنۡهُم
[so] of them
مَّنۡ
(are some) who
ءَامَنَ
believed
وَمِنۡهُم
and of them
مَّن
(are some) who
كَفَرَ‌ۚ
denied
وَلَوۡ
And if
شَآءَ
(had) willed
ٱللَّهُ
Allah
مَا
not
ٱقۡتَتَلُواۡ
they (would have) fought each other
وَلَـٰكِنَّ
[and] but
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
يَفۡعَلُ
does
مَا
what
يُرِيدُ
He intends
٢٥٣
Those messengers - some of them We caused to exceed others. Among them were those to whom Allāh spoke, and He raised some of them in degree. And We gave Jesus, the son of Mary, clear proofs, and We supported him with the Pure Spirit [i.e., Gabriel]. If Allāh had willed, those [generations] succeeding them would not have fought each other after the clear proofs had come to them. But they differed, and some of them believed and some of them disbelieved. And if Allāh had willed, they would not have fought each other, but Allāh does what He intends.
2:254
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا
O you
ٱلَّذِينَ
who
ءَامَنُوٓاۡ
believe[d]
أَنفِقُواۡ
Spend
مِمَّا
of what
رَزَقۡنَـٰكُم
We (have) provided you
مِّن
from
قَبۡلِ
before
أَن
that
يَأۡتِىَ
comes
يَوۡمٌ
a Day
لَّا
no
بَيۡعٌ
bargaining
فِيهِ
in it
وَلَا
and no
خُلَّةٌ
friendship
وَلَا
and no
شَفَـٰعَةٌ‌ۗ
intercession
وَٱلۡكَـٰفِرُونَ
And the deniers
هُمُ
they
ٱلظَّـٰلِمُونَ
(are) the wrongdoers
٢٥٤
O you who have believed, spend from that which We have provided for you before there comes a Day in which there is no exchange [i.e., ransom] and no friendship and no intercession. And the disbelievers - they are the wrongdoers.
2:255
ٱللَّهُ
Allah
لَآ
(there is) no
إِلَـٰهَ
God
إِلَّا
except
هُوَ
Him
ٱلۡحَىُّ
the Ever-Living
ٱلۡقَيُّومُ‌ۚ
the Sustainer of all that exists
لَا
Not
تَأۡخُذُهُۥ
overtakes Him
سِنَةٌ
slumber
وَلَا
[and] not
نَوۡمٌ‌ۚ
sleep
لَّهُۥ
To Him (belongs)
مَا
what(ever)
فِى
(is) in
ٱلسَّمَـٰوٰتِ
the heavens
وَمَا
and what(ever)
فِى
(is) in
ٱلۡأَرۡضِ‌ۗ
the earth
مَن
Who
ذَا
(is) the one
ٱلَّذِى
who
يَشۡفَعُ
can intercede
عِندَهُۥٓ
with Him
إِلَّا
except
بِإِذۡنِهِۦ‌ۚ
by His permission
يَعۡلَمُ
He knows
مَا
what
بَيۡنَ
(is)
أَيۡدِيهِمۡ
before them
وَمَا
and what
خَلۡفَهُمۡ‌ۖ
(is) behind them
وَلَا
And not
يُحِيطُونَ
they encompass
بِشَىۡءٍ
anything
مِّنۡ
of
عِلۡمِهِۦٓ
His Knowledge
إِلَّا
except
بِمَا
[of] what
شَآءَ‌ۚ
He willed
وَسِعَ
Extends
كُرۡسِيُّهُ
His Seat
ٱلسَّمَـٰوٰتِ
(to) the heavens
وَٱلۡأَرۡضَ‌ۖ
and the earth
وَلَا
And not
يَــُٔودُهُۥ
tires Him
حِفۡظُهُمَا‌ۚ
(the) guarding of both of them
وَهُوَ
And He
ٱلۡعَلِىُّ
(is) the Most High
ٱلۡعَظِيمُ
the Most Great
٢٥٥
Allāh - there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living,1 the Self-Sustaining.2 Neither drowsiness overtakes Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is it that can intercede with Him except by His permission? He knows what is [presently] before them and what will be after them,3 and they encompass not a thing of His knowledge except for what He wills. His Kursī4 extends over the heavens and the earth, and their preservation tires Him not. And He is the Most High,5 the Most Great.6
2:256
لَآ
(There is) no
إِكۡرَاهَ
compulsion
فِى
in
ٱلدِّينِ‌ۖ
the religion
قَد
Surely
تَّبَيَّنَ
has become distinct
ٱلرُّشۡدُ
the right (path)
مِنَ
from
ٱلۡغَىِّ‌ۚ
the wrong
فَمَن
Then whoever
يَكۡفُرۡ
disbelieves
بِٱلطَّـٰغُوتِ
in false deities
وَيُؤۡمِنۢ
and believes
بِٱللَّهِ
in Allah
فَقَدِ
then surely
ٱسۡتَمۡسَكَ
he grasped
بِٱلۡعُرۡوَةِ
the handhold
ٱلۡوُثۡقَىٰ
[the] firm
لَا
(which) not
ٱنفِصَامَ
(will) break
لَهَا‌ۗ
[for it]
وَٱللَّهُ
And Allah
سَمِيعٌ
(is) All-Hearing
عَلِيمٌ
All-Knowing
٢٥٦
There shall be no compulsion in [acceptance of] the religion. The right course has become distinct from the wrong. So whoever disbelieves in ṭāghūt1 and believes in Allāh has grasped the most trustworthy handhold with no break in it. And Allāh is Hearing and Knowing.
2:257
ٱللَّهُ
Allah
وَلِىُّ
(is the) Protecting Guardian
ٱلَّذِينَ
(of) those who
ءَامَنُواۡ
believe[d]
يُخۡرِجُهُم
He brings them out
مِّنَ
from
ٱلظُّلُمَـٰتِ
[the] darkness
إِلَى
towards
ٱلنُّورِ‌ۖ
[the] light
وَٱلَّذِينَ
And those who
كَفَرُوٓاۡ
disbelieve(d)
أَوۡلِيَآؤُهُمُ
their guardians
ٱلطَّـٰغُوتُ
(are) the evil ones
يُخۡرِجُونَهُم
they bring them out
مِّنَ
from
ٱلنُّورِ
the light
إِلَى
towards
ٱلظُّلُمَـٰتِ‌ۗ
[the] darkness
أُوۡلَـٰٓئِكَ
Those
أَصۡحَـٰبُ
(are the) companions
ٱلنَّارِ‌ۖ
(of) the Fire
هُمۡ
they
فِيهَا
in it
خَـٰلِدُونَ
will abide forever
٢٥٧
Allāh is the Ally1 of those who believe. He brings them out from darknesses into the light. And those who disbelieve - their allies are ṭāghūt. They take them out of the light into darknesses.2 Those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide eternally therein.
2:258
أَلَمۡ
Did not
تَرَ
you see
إِلَى
[towards]
ٱلَّذِى
the one who
حَآجَّ
argued
إِبۡرٰهِــۧمَ
(with) Ibrahim
فِى
concerning
رَبِّهِۦٓ
his Lord
أَنۡ
because
ءَاتَـٰهُ
gave him
ٱللَّهُ
Allah
ٱلۡمُلۡكَ
the kingdom
إِذۡ
When
قَالَ
Said
إِبۡرٰهِــۧمُ
Ibrahim
رَبِّىَ
My Lord
ٱلَّذِى
(is) the One Who
يُحۡىِۦ
grants life
وَيُمِيتُ
and causes death
قَالَ
He said
أَنَاۡ
I
أُحۡىِۦ
give life
وَأُمِيتُ‌ۖ
and cause death
قَالَ
Said
إِبۡرٰهِــۧمُ
Ibrahim
فَإِنَّ
[Then] indeed
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
يَأۡتِى
brings up
بِٱلشَّمۡسِ
the sun
مِنَ
from
ٱلۡمَشۡرِقِ
the east
فَأۡتِ
so you bring
بِهَا
it
مِنَ
from
ٱلۡمَغۡرِبِ
the west
فَبُهِتَ
So became dumbfounded
ٱلَّذِى
the one who
كَفَرَ‌ۗ
disbelieved
وَٱللَّهُ
and Allah
لَا
(does) not
يَهۡدِى
guide
ٱلۡقَوۡمَ
the people
ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ
(who are) [the] wrongdoers
٢٥٨
Have you not considered the one who argued with Abraham about his Lord [merely] because Allāh had given him kingship? When Abraham said, "My Lord is the one who gives life and causes death," he said, "I give life and cause death." Abraham said, "Indeed, Allāh brings up the sun from the east, so bring it up from the west." So the disbeliever was overwhelmed [by astonishment], and Allāh does not guide the wrongdoing people.
2:259
أَوۡ
Or
كَٱلَّذِى
like the one who
مَرَّ
passed
عَلَىٰ
by
قَرۡيَةٍ
a township
وَهِىَ
and it
خَاوِيَةٌ
(had) overturned
عَلَىٰ
on
عُرُوشِهَا
its roofs
قَالَ
He said
أَنَّىٰ
How
يُحۡىِۦ
(will) bring to life
هَـٰذِهِ
this (town)
ٱللَّهُ
Allah
بَعۡدَ
after
مَوۡتِهَا‌ۖ
its death
فَأَمَاتَهُ
Then he was made to die
ٱللَّهُ
(by) Allah
مِاۡئَةَ
(for) a hundred
عَامٍ
year(s)
ثُمَّ
then
بَعَثَهُۥ‌ۖ
He raised him
قَالَ
He said
كَمۡ
How long
لَبِثۡتَ‌ۖ
(have) you remained
قَالَ
He said
لَبِثۡتُ
I remained
يَوۡمًا
(for) a day
أَوۡ
or
بَعۡضَ
a part
يَوۡمٍ‌ۖ
(of) a day
قَالَ
He said
بَل
Nay
لَّبِثۡتَ
you (have) remained
مِاۡئَةَ
one hundred
عَامٍ
year(s)
فَٱنظُرۡ
Then look
إِلَىٰ
at
طَعَامِكَ
your food
وَشَرَابِكَ
and your drink
لَمۡ
(they did) not
يَتَسَنَّهۡ‌ۖ
change with time
وَٱنظُرۡ
and look
إِلَىٰ
at
حِمَارِكَ
your donkey
وَلِنَجۡعَلَكَ
and We will make you
ءَايَةً
a sign
لِّلنَّاسِ‌ۖ
for the people
وَٱنظُرۡ
And look
إِلَى
at
ٱلۡعِظَامِ
the bones
كَيۡفَ
how
نُنشِزُهَا
We raise them
ثُمَّ
then
نَكۡسُوهَا
We cover them
لَحۡمًا‌ۚ
(with) flesh
فَلَمَّا
Then when
تَبَيَّنَ
became clear
لَهُۥ
to him
قَالَ
he said
أَعۡلَمُ
I know
أَنَّ
that
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
عَلَىٰ
(is) on
كُلِّ
every
شَىۡءٍ
thing
قَدِيرٌ
All-Powerful
٢٥٩
Or [consider such an example] as the one who passed by a township which had fallen into ruin. He said, "How will Allāh bring this to life after its death?" So Allāh caused him to die for a hundred years; then He revived him. He said, "How long have you remained?" He [the man] said, "I have remained a day or part of a day." He said, "Rather, you have remained one hundred years. Look at your food and your drink; it has not changed with time. And look at your donkey; and We will make you a sign for the people. And look at the bones [of this donkey] - how We raise them and then We cover them with flesh." And when it became clear to him, he said, "I know that Allāh is over all things competent."
2:260
وَإِذۡ
And when
قَالَ
said
إِبۡرٰهِــۧمُ
Ibrahim
رَبِّ
My Lord
أَرِنِى
show me
كَيۡفَ
how
تُحۡىِ
You give life
ٱلۡمَوۡتَىٰ‌ۖ
(to) the dead
قَالَ
He said
أَوَلَمۡ
Have not
تُؤۡمِن‌ۖ
you believed
قَالَ
He said
بَلَىٰ
Yes
وَلَـٰكِن
[and] but
لِّيَطۡمَئِنَّ
to satisfy
قَلۡبِى‌ۖ
my heart
قَالَ
He said
فَخُذۡ
Then take
أَرۡبَعَةً
four
مِّنَ
of
ٱلطَّيۡرِ
the birds
فَصُرۡهُنَّ
and incline them
إِلَيۡكَ
towards you
ثُمَّ
then
ٱجۡعَلۡ
put
عَلَىٰ
on
كُلِّ
each
جَبَلٍ
hill
مِّنۡهُنَّ
of them
جُزۡءًا
a portion
ثُمَّ
then
ٱدۡعُهُنَّ
call them
يَأۡتِينَكَ
they will come to you
سَعۡيًا‌ۚ
(in) haste
وَٱعۡلَمۡ
And know
أَنَّ
that
ٱللَّهَ
Allah
عَزِيزٌ
(is) All-Mighty
حَكِيمٌ
All-Wise
٢٦٠
And [mention] when Abraham said, "My Lord, show me how You give life to the dead." [Allāh] said, "Have you not believed?" He said, "Yes, but [I ask] only that my heart may be satisfied." [Allāh] said, "Take four birds and commit them to yourself.1 Then [after slaughtering them] put on each hill a portion of them; then call them - they will come [flying] to you in haste. And know that Allāh is Exalted in Might and Wise."
2:261
مَّثَلُ
Example
ٱلَّذِينَ
(of) those who
يُنفِقُونَ
spend
أَمۡوٰلَهُمۡ
their wealth
فِى
in
سَبِيلِ
(the) way
ٱللَّهِ
(of) Allah
كَمَثَلِ
(is) like
حَبَّةٍ
a grain
أَنۢبَتَتۡ
which grows
سَبۡعَ
seven
سَنَابِلَ
ears
فِى
in
كُلِّ
each
سُنۢبُلَةٍ
ear
مِّاۡئَةُ
hundred
حَبَّةٍ‌ۗ
grain(s)
وَٱللَّهُ
And Allah
يُضَـٰعِفُ
gives manifold
لِمَن
to whom
يَشَآءُ‌ۗ
He wills
وَٱللَّهُ
And Allah
وٰسِعٌ
(is) All-Encompassing
عَلِيمٌ
All-Knowing
٢٦١
The example of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allāh is like a seed [of grain] which grows seven spikes; in each spike is a hundred grains. And Allāh multiplies [His reward] for whom He wills. And Allāh is all-Encompassing and Knowing.
2:262
ٱلَّذِينَ
Those who
يُنفِقُونَ
spend
أَمۡوٰلَهُمۡ
their wealth
فِى
in
سَبِيلِ
(the) way
ٱللَّهِ
(of) Allah
ثُمَّ
then
لَا
not
يُتۡبِعُونَ
they follow
مَآ
what
أَنفَقُواۡ
they spend
مَنًّا
(with) reminders of generosity
وَلَآ
and not
أَذًى‌ۙ
hurt
لَّهُمۡ
for them
أَجۡرُهُمۡ
their reward
عِندَ
(is) with
رَبِّهِمۡ
their Lord
وَلَا
and (there will be) no
خَوۡفٌ
fear
عَلَيۡهِمۡ
on them
وَلَا
and not
هُمۡ
they
يَحۡزَنُونَ
will grieve
٢٦٢
Those who spend their wealth in the way of Allāh and then do not follow up what they have spent with reminders [of it] or [other] injury will have their reward with their Lord, and there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they grieve.
2:263
۞قَوۡلٌ
A word
مَّعۡرُوفٌ
kind
وَمَغۡفِرَةٌ
and (seeking) forgiveness
خَيۡرٌ
(are) better
مِّن
than
صَدَقَةٍ
a charity
يَتۡبَعُهَآ
followed [it]
أَذًى‌ۗ
(by) hurt
وَٱللَّهُ
And Allah
غَنِىٌّ
(is) All-Sufficient
حَلِيمٌ
All-Forbearing
٢٦٣
Kind speech and forgiveness are better than charity followed by injury. And Allāh is Free of need and Forbearing.
2:264
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا
O you
ٱلَّذِينَ
who
ءَامَنُواۡ
believe[d]
لَا
(Do) not
تُبۡطِلُواۡ
render in vain
صَدَقَـٰتِكُم
your charities
بِٱلۡمَنِّ
with reminders (of it)
وَٱلۡأَذَىٰ
or [the] hurt
كَٱلَّذِى
like the one who
يُنفِقُ
spends
مَالَهُۥ
his wealth
رِئَآءَ
(to) be seen
ٱلنَّاسِ
(by) the people
وَلَا
and (does) not
يُؤۡمِنُ
believe
بِٱللَّهِ
in Allah
وَٱلۡيَوۡمِ
and the Day
ٱلۡأَخِرِ‌ۖ
[the] Last
فَمَثَلُهُۥ
Then his example
كَمَثَلِ
(is) like
صَفۡوَانٍ
(that of a) smooth rock
عَلَيۡهِ
upon it
تُرَابٌ
(is) dust
فَأَصَابَهُۥ
then fell on it
وَابِلٌ
heavy rain
فَتَرَكَهُۥ
then left it
صَلۡدًا‌ۖ
bare
لَّا
Not
يَقۡدِرُونَ
they have control
عَلَىٰ
on
شَىۡءٍ
anything
مِّمَّا
of what
كَسَبُواۡ‌ۗ
they (have) earned
وَٱللَّهُ
And Allah
لَا
(does) not
يَهۡدِى
guide
ٱلۡقَوۡمَ
the people
ٱلۡكَـٰفِرِينَ
[the] disbelieving
٢٦٤
O you who have believed, do not invalidate your charities with reminders [of it] or injury as does one who spends his wealth [only] to be seen by the people and does not believe in Allāh and the Last Day. His example is like that of a [large] smooth stone upon which is dust and is hit by a downpour that leaves it bare. They are unable [to keep] anything of what they have earned. And Allāh does not guide the disbelieving people.
2:265
وَمَثَلُ
And (the) example
ٱلَّذِينَ
(of) those who
يُنفِقُونَ
spend
أَمۡوٰلَهُمُ
their wealth
ٱبۡتِغَآءَ
seeking
مَرۡضَاتِ
(the) pleasure
ٱللَّهِ
(of) Allah
وَتَثۡبِيتًا
and certainty
مِّنۡ
from
أَنفُسِهِمۡ
their (inner) souls
كَمَثَلِ
(is) like
جَنَّةِۭ
a garden
بِرَبۡوَةٍ
on a height
أَصَابَهَا
fell on it
وَابِلٌ
heavy rain
فَـَٔـاتَتۡ
so it yielded
أُكُلَهَا
its harvest
ضِعۡفَيۡنِ
double
فَإِن
Then if
لَّمۡ
(does) not
يُصِبۡهَا
fall (on) it
وَابِلٌ
heavy rain
فَطَلٌّ‌ۗ
then a drizzle
وَٱللَّهُ
And Allah
بِمَا
of what
تَعۡمَلُونَ
you do
بَصِيرٌ
(is) All-Seer
٢٦٥
And the example of those who spend their wealth seeking means to the approval of Allāh and assuring [reward for] themselves is like a garden on high ground which is hit by a downpour - so it yields its fruits in double. And [even] if it is not hit by a downpour, then a drizzle [is sufficient]. And Allāh, of what you do, is Seeing.
2:266
أَيَوَدُّ
Would like
أَحَدُكُمۡ
any of you
أَن
that
تَكُونَ
it be
لَهُۥ
for him
جَنَّةٌ
a garden
مِّن
of
نَّخِيلٍ
date-palms
وَأَعۡنَابٍ
and grapevines
تَجۡرِى
flowing
مِن
[from]
تَحۡتِهَا
underneath it
ٱلۡأَنۡهَـٰرُ
the rivers
لَهُۥ
for him
فِيهَا
in it
مِن
of
كُلِّ
all (kinds)
ٱلثَّمَرٰتِ
(of) [the] fruits
وَأَصَابَهُ
and strikes him
ٱلۡكِبَرُ
[the] old age
وَلَهُۥ
and [for] his
ذُرِّيَّةٌ
children
ضُعَفَآءُ
(are) weak
فَأَصَابَهَآ
then falls on it
إِعۡصَارٌ
whirlwind
فِيهِ
in it
نَارٌ
(is) fire
فَٱحۡتَرَقَتۡ‌ۗ
then it is burnt
كَذٰلِكَ
Thus
يُبَيِّنُ
makes clear
ٱللَّهُ
Allah
لَكُمُ
for you
ٱلۡأَيَـٰتِ
(His) Signs
لَعَلَّكُمۡ
so that you may
تَتَفَكَّرُونَ
ponder
٢٦٦
Would one of you like to have a garden of palm trees and grapevines underneath which rivers flow in which he has from every fruit? But he is afflicted with old age and has weak [i.e., immature] offspring, and it is hit by a whirlwind containing fire and is burned. Thus does Allāh make clear to you [His] verses that you might give thought.
2:267
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا
O you
ٱلَّذِينَ
who
ءَامَنُوٓاۡ

أَخۡرَجۡنَا
We brought forth
لَكُم

ٱلۡأَرۡضِ‌ۖ
the earth

And (do) not

aim (at)
ٱلۡخَبِيثَ
the bad

except
أَن
[that]
تُغۡمِضُواۡ
(with) close(d) eyes
فِيهِ‌ۚ
[in it]
وَٱعۡلَمُوٓاۡ
and know
أَنَّ
that
ٱللَّهَ

٢٦٧
O you who have believed, spend from the good things which you have earned and from that which We have produced for you from the earth. And do not aim toward the defective therefrom, spending [from that] while you would not take it [yourself] except with closed eyes. And know that Allāh is Free of need and Praiseworthy.

Satan threatens you with poverty and orders you to immorality, while Allāh promises you forgiveness from Him and bounty. And Allāh is all-Encompassing and Knowing.

If you disclose your charitable expenditures, they are good; but if you conceal them and give them to the poor, it is better for you, and He will remove from you some of your misdeeds [thereby]. And Allāh, of what you do, is [fully] Aware.

[Charity is] for the poor who have been restricted for the cause of Allāh, unable to move about in the land. An ignorant [person] would think them self-sufficient because of their restraint, but you will know them by their [characteristic] sign. They do not ask people persistently [or at all]. And whatever you spend of good - indeed, Allāh is Knowing of it.

٢٧٥
Those who consume interest1 cannot stand [on the Day of Resurrection] except as one stands who is being beaten by Satan into insanity. That is because they say, "Trade is [just] like interest." But Allāh has permitted trade and has forbidden interest. So whoever has received an admonition from his Lord and desists may have what is past, and his affair rests with Allāh. But whoever returns [to dealing in interest or usury] - those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide eternally therein.

O you who have believed, when you contract a debt for a specified term, write it down. And let a scribe write [it] between you in justice. Let no scribe refuse to write as Allāh has taught him. So let him write and let the one who has the obligation [i.e., the debtor] dictate. And let him fear Allāh, his Lord, and not leave anything out of it. But if the one who has the obligation is of limited understanding or weak or unable to dictate himself, then let his guardian dictate in justice. And bring to witness two witnesses from among your men. And if there are not two men [available], then a man and two women from those whom you accept as witnesses - so that if one of them [i.e., the women] errs, then the other can remind her. And let not the witnesses refuse when they are called upon. And do not be [too] weary to write it, whether it is small or large, for its [specified] term. That is more just in the sight of Allāh and stronger as evidence and more likely to prevent doubt between you, except when it is an immediate transaction which you conduct among yourselves. For [then] there is no blame upon you if you do not write it. And take witnesses when you conclude a contract. Let no scribe be harmed or any witness. For if you do so, indeed, it is [grave] disobedience in you. And fear Allāh. And Allāh teaches you. And Allāh is Knowing of all things.
