O you

who

believe[d]

When

you contract with one another

any debt

for

a term

fixed

then write it

And let write

between you

a scribe

in justice

And not

(should) refuse

a scribe

that

he writes

as

(has) taught him

Allah

So let him write

and let dictate

the one

on whom

(is) the right

and let him fear

Allah

his Lord

and (let him) not

diminish

from it

anything

Then if

is

the one

on him

(is) the right

(of) limited understanding

or

weak

or

not

capable

that

(can) dictate

he

then let dictate

his guardian

with justice

And call for evidence

two witnesses

among

your men

And if

not

there are

two men

then one man

and two women

of whom

you agree

of

[the] witnesses

(so) that (if)

[she] errs

one of the two

then will remind

one of the two

the other

And not

(should) refuse

the witnesses

when

that

they are called

And not

(be) weary

that

you write it

small

or

large

for

its term

That

(is) more just

near

Allah

and more upright

for evidence

and nearer

that not

you (have) doubt

except

that

be

a transaction

present

you carry out

among you

then not

on you

any sin

that not

you write it

And take witness

when

you make commercial transaction

And not

(should) be harmed

(the) scribe

and not

(the) witness

and if

you do

then indeed it

(is) sinful conduct

for you

and fear

Allah

And teaches

Allah

And Allah

of every

thing

(is) All-Knower
