M.Pickthall
105. O ye who believe! Ye have charge of your own souls. He who erreth cannot injure
you if ye are rightly guided. Unto Allah ye will all return; and then He will inform
you of what ye used to do.
Yusuf Ali
105. O ye who believe! guard your own souls: if ye follow (right) guidance no hurt
can come to you from those who stray. The goal of you all is to Allah: it is He that
will show you the truth of all that ye do.
M.Pickthall
106. O ye who believe! Let there be witnesses between you when death draweth nigh
unto one of you, at the time of bequest two witnesses, just men from among you, or
two others from another tribe, in case ye are campaigning in the land and the
calamity of death befall you. Ye shall empanel them both after the prayer, and, if
ye doubt, they shall be made to swear by Allah (saying): We will not take a bribe,
even though it were (on behalf of) a near kinsman nor will we hide the testimony of
Allah, for then indeed we should be of the sinful.
Yusuf Ali
106. O ye who believe! when death approaches any of you (take) witnesses among
yourselves when making bequests two just men of your own (brotherhood) or others
from outside if ye are journeying through the earth and the chance of death befalls
you (thus). If ye doubt (their truth) detain them both after prayer and let them
both swear by Allah: "We wish not in this for any worldly gain even though the
(beneficiary) be our near relation: we shall hide not the evidence before Allah:
if we do then behold! the sin be upon us!"
M.Pickthall
107. But then, if it is afterwards ascertained that both of them merit (the suspicion
of) sin, let two others take their place of those nearly concerned, and let them swear
by Allah, (saying): Verily our testimony is truer than their testimony and we have not
transgressed(the bounds of duty), for then indeed we should be of the evildoers.
Yusuf Ali
107. But if it gets known that these two were guilty of the sin (of perjury). Let
two others stand forth in their places nearest in kin from among those who claim a
lawful right: let them swear by Allah: "We affirm that our witness is truer than
that of those two and that we have not trespassed (beyond the truth): if we did
behold! the wrong be upon us!.
M.Pickthall
108. Thus it is more likely that they will hear true witness or fear that after their
oath the oath (of others) will be taken. So be mindful of your duty (to Allah) and
hearken. Allah guideth not the froward folk.
Yusuf Ali
108. That is most suitable: that they may give the evidence in its true nature and
shape or else they would fear that other oaths would be taken after their oaths.
But fear Allah and listen (to His counsel): for Allah guideth not a rebellious people.
