106. يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ شَهَٰدَةُ بَيْنِكُمْ إِذَا
حَضَرَ أَحَدَكُمُ ٱلْمَوْتُ حِينَ ٱلْوَصِيَّةِ ٱثْنَانِ ذَوَا عَدْلٍ مِّنكُمْ
أَوْ ءَاخَرَانِ مِنْ غَيْرِكُمْ إِنْ أَنتُمْ ضَرَبْتُمْ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ
فَأَصَٰبَتْكُم مُّصِيبَةُ ٱلْمَوْتِ ۚ تَحْبِسُونَهُمَا مِنۢ بَعْدِ ٱلصَّلَوٰةِ
فَيُقْسِمَانِ بِٱللَّهِ إِنِ ٱرْتَبْتُمْ لَا نَشْتَرِى بِهِۦ ثَمَنًا وَلَوْ
كَانَ ذَا قُرْبَىٰ ۙ وَلَا نَكْتُمُ شَهَٰدَةَ ٱللَّهِ إِنَّآ إِذًا لَّمِنَ
ٱلْءَاثِمِينَ
106a. 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 of the others not of you, in case ye are campaigning in the land and the
calamity of death befall you.

Commentary
Method of appointing any person
as an executor to carry into effect the will of a testator, who is at the point
of death, is being explained in this verse. The executor is the person; whom
any testator gives in charge of his/her property/wealth, so that the executor
may hand over it to the heirs. Appointing two Men as executors, who should be
just Muslims, is better, because nevertheless, a Muslim (Believer) can never be
a faithless. However, if the persons of required standard are not available,
then any two common persons from among the Muslims can be appointed as
executors. But if someone is campaigning in the land and the calamity of death
befall him/her, then any non-Muslim can also be appointed as the
executor.
It is commanded that the
Muslims should adopt the way that if they make someone executor at the time of
death, then there should be two executors; who should be Muslims and Just. It
aims that those should be such persons; upon whom everyone have faith and they
should be famous in honesty. If such kinds of executors is not available, then
two persons from the Muslim community (condition of whom is not known) may be
appointed, because a Muslim cannot be a dishonest.
Maximum scholars of the
religion have faith that any non-Muslim can be appointed as executor if the
Muslim is not available. Otherwise, only any Muslim should be appointed as
executor. It has the reason that during the ancient days, only the Muslims were
such people who were considered pure from dishonesty. Unfortunately, nowadays,
the Disbelievers and Idolaters are deemed more faithful, honest and just than
the Muslims. The Muslims should take warning from it.
