یَأَیُّهَا الَّذِینَ ءَامَنُواْ إِذَا تَدَایَنتُم بِدَیْن إِلَى أَجَل مُّسَمّىً فَاکْتُبُوهُ وَلْیَکْتُب بَّیْنَکُمْ کَاتِبُ بِالْعَدْلِ وَلاَ یَأْبَ کَاتِبٌ أَن یُکْتُبَ کَمَا عَلَّمَهُ اللهُ فَلْیَکْتُبْ وَلُْیمْلِلِ الَّذِی عَلَیْهِ الْحَقُّ وَلْیَتَّقِ اللهَ رَبَّهُ وَلاَ یَبْخَسْ مِنْهُ شَیْئاً فَإِن کَانَ الَّذِی عَلَیْهِ الْحَقُّ سَفِیهاً أَوْ ضَعِیفاً أوَْ لاَ یَسْتَطِیعُ أَن یُمِلَّ هُوَ فَلْیُمْلِلْ وَلِیُّهُ بِالْعَدْلِ وَاسْتَشْهِدُواْ شَهِیدَیْنِ مِن رِّجَالِکُمْ فَإِن لَّمْ یَکُونَا رَجُلَیْنِ فَرَجُلٌ وَامْرَأَتَانِ مِمَّن تَرْضَوْنَ مِنَ الشُّهَدَآءِ أَن تَضِلَّ إِحْدَاهُمَا فَتُذَکِّرَ إحْدَاهُمَا الاُْخْرَى وَلاَ یَأْبَ الشُّهَدَآءُ إِذَا مَادُعُوا وَلاَ تَسْئَمُواْ أَن تَکْتُبُوهُ صَغِیراً أَوْ کَبِیراً إِلَى أَجلِهِ ذَلِکُمْ أَقْسَطُ عِندَ اللهِ وَأَقْوَمُ لِلشَّهَـادَةِ وَأَدْنَى أَلاَّ تَرْتَابُواْ إِلاَّ أَن تَکُونَ تِجَـارَةً حَاضِرةً تُدِیرُونَهَا بَیْنُکُمْ فَلَیْسَ عَلَیْکُمْ جُنَاحٌ أَلاَّ تَکْتُبُوهَا وَأشْهِدُواْ إِذَا تَبَایَعْتُمْ وَلاَ یُضَآرَّ کَاتِبٌ وَلاَشَهِیدٌ وَإِن تَفْعَلُواْ فَإِنَّهُ فُسُوقُ بِکُمْ وَاتَّقُواْ اللهَ وَیُعَلِّمُکُمُ اللهُ وَاللهُ بِکُلّ ِ شَىْء عَلِیمٌ(( 282 ))

282- O, YOU WHO BELIEVE! WHEN YOU DEAL WITH EACH OTHER IN CONTRACTING A DEBT FOR A STATED TERM; WRITE IT DOWN, AND LET A WRITER WRITE IT DOWN BETWEEN YOU JUSTLY, AND THE WRITER SHOULD NOT REFUSE TO WRITE IT DOWN, AS ALLAH HAS TAUGHT HIM. SO LET HIM WRITE, AND LET DEBTOR DICTATE, AND HE SHOULD BEWARE OF ALLAH HIS LORD, AND DIMINISH NOT ANYTHING OF WHAT HE OWES. IF THE DEBTORE IS MENTALLY DEFICIENT, OR WEAK, OR UNABLE TO DICTATE, THEN LET HIS GUARDIAN DICTATE JUSTLY, AND CALL INTO WITNESS TWO WITNESSES OUT OF YOUR OWN MEN, AND IF THERE ARE NOT TWO MEN; THEN A MAN AND TWO WOMEN, SUCH WITNESSES AS YOU APPROVE OF: THAT IF ONE OF THE TWO WOMEN ERRS, THE OTHER MAY REMIND HER. THE WITNESSES SHOULD NOT REFUSE WHEN THEY ARE CALLED ON, (FOR EVIDENCE) AND DISDAIN NOT TO WRITE IT DOWN WHETHER IT BE SMALL OR GREAT; WITH ITS TERM. THAT IS MORE EQUITABLE IN THE SIGHT OF ALLAH, AND MORE UPRIGHT FOR TESTIMONY, AND LIKELIER THAT YOU WILL NOT BE IN DOUBT. BUT IF IT BE A TRANSACTION WHICH YOU CARRY OUT ON THE SPOT, AMONG YOURSELVES, THERE IS NO BLAME ON YOU IF YOU DO NOT WRITE IT DOWN. BUT TAKE WITNESSES WHENEVER YOU MAKE A COMMERCIAL CONTRACT, AND LET NOT EITHER THE WRITER OR THE WITNESS SUFFER HARM; IF YOU DO SO IT WOULD BE A WICKEDNESS IN YOU. AND BEWARE OF ALLAH. ALLAH TEACHES YOU, AND ALLAH HAS KNOWLEDGE OF ALL THINGS.
