| Shabbir Ahmed (Where necessary, even minor details of Law have been given to you in the Qur'an.) O You who have chosen to be graced with belief!

After you have prayed, let the witnesses swear by God, "We shall not sell our word for any price, even though it is in favor of a relative, and we will not conceal what we have witnessed before God, or else we will be among the sinners |

When death comes near any of you, (take) witnesses among yourselves when making (legal or last time) changes— Entrust two just men from your own (community) or others from outside, if you are traveling through the earth (world), and the chance of death comes to you (thus). If you doubt (their truthfulness) make them both stay after prayer, and let them both swear by Allah: “We do not wish for any worldly gain in this (matter) even though the (beneficiary) be our near relation: We shall not hide the evidence before Allah if we did, then look! The sin (will) be upon us!” |

| The Monotheist Group Edition O you who believe, witnessing a will if death is approaching to one of you shall be done by two who are just amongst you.
