[
O
you
who
believe!
when
you
deal
with
each
other
in
contracting
a
debt
for
a
fixed
time,
then
write
it
down;
and
let
a
scribe
write
it
down
between
you
with
fairness;
and
the
scribe
should
not
refuse
to
write
as
Allah
has
taught
him,
so
he
should
write;
and
let
him
who
owes
the
debt
dictate,
and
he
should
be
careful
of
(his
duty
to)
Allah,
his
Lord,
and
not
diminish
anything
from
it;
but
if
he
who
owes
the
debt
is
unsound
in
understanding,
or
weak,
or
(if)
he
is
not
able
to
dictate
himself,
let
his
guardian
dictate
with
fairness;
and
call
in
to
witness
from
among
your
men
two
witnesses;
but
if
there
are
not
two
men,
then
one
man
and
two
women
from
among
those
whom
you
choose
to
be
witnesses,
so
that
if
one
of
the
two
errs,
the
second
of
the
two
may
remind
the
other;
and
the
witnesses
should
not
refuse
when
they
are
summoned;
and
be
not
averse
to
writing
it
(whether
it
is)
small
or
large,
with
the
time
of
its
falling
due;
this
is
more
equitable
in
the
sight
of
Allah
and
assures
greater
accuracy
in
testimony,
and
the
nearest
(way)
that
you
may
not
entertain
doubts
(afterwards),
except
when
it
is
ready
merchandise
which
you
give
and
take
among
yourselves
from
hand
to
hand,
then
there
is
no
blame
on
you
in
not
writing
it
down;
and
have
witnesses
when
you
barter
with
one
another,
and
let
no
harm
be
done
to
the
scribe
or
to
the
witness;
and
if
you
do
(it)
then
surely
it
will
be
a
transgression
in
you,
and
be
careful
of
(your
duty)
to
Allah,
Allah
teaches
you,
and
Allah
knows
all
things.

يا أيها الذين آمنوا إذا تداينتم بدين إلى أجل مسمى فاكتبوه وليكتب بينكم كاتب بالعدل ولا يأب كاتب أن يكتب كما علمه الله فليكتب وليملل الذي عليه الحق وليتق الله ربه ولا يبخس منه شيئا فإن كان الذي عليه الحق سفيها أو ضعيفا أو لا يستطيع أن يمل هو فليملل وليه بالعدل واستشهدوا شهيدين من رجالكم فإن لم يكونا رجلين فرجل وامرأتان ممن ترضون من الشهداء أن تضل إحداهما فتذكر إحداهما الأخرى ولا يأب الشهداء إذا ما دعوا ولا تسأموا أن تكتبوه صغيرا أو كبيرا إلى أجله ذلكم أقسط عند الله وأقوم للشهادة وأدنى ألا ترتابوا إلا أن تكون تجارة حاضرة تديرونها بينكم فليس عليكم جناح ألا تكتبوها وأشهدوا إذا تبايعتم ولا يضار كاتب ولا شهيد وإن تفعلوا فإنه فسوق بكم واتقوا الله ويعلمكم الله والله بكل شيء عليم
