Surah Al-Ma'idah Ayah 108

Al-Ma'idah · Ayah 108 · Juz 7 · Page 125

ذَٰلِكَ أَدۡنَىٰٓ أَن يَأۡتُواْ بِٱلشَّهَٰدَةِ عَلَىٰ وَجۡهِهَآ أَوۡ يَخَافُوٓاْ أَن تُرَدَّ أَيۡمَٰنُۢ بَعۡدَ أَيۡمَٰنِهِمۡۗ وَٱتَّقُواْ ٱللَّهَ وَٱسۡمَعُواْۗ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يَهۡدِي ٱلۡقَوۡمَ ٱلۡفَٰسِقِينَ ١٠٨

Dhālika adnā ay yaʾtū bish-shahādati ʿalā wajhihā aw yakhāfū an turadda aymānu baʿda aymānihim, wattaqullāha wasmaʿū, wallāhu lā yahdil-qawmal-fāsiqīn.

That is more likely that they will give testimony according to its [true] objective, or [at least] they would fear that [other] oaths might be taken after their oaths. And fear Allāh and listen [i.e., obey Him]; and Allāh does not guide the defiantly disobedient people.
