Commentary

During the time of the Messenger of Allah Almighty (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him), a Muslim named Badiil and two Christians named Tiim and ‘Adii went on campaigning in the land together. Badiil died in the way, but before death he gave his entire property in the charge of both Christians, so that they should hand it over to his heirs.

After reaching back they handed over the goods to its heirs. A list of the entire articles was found in the luggage by the heirs. Then they knew that a silver bowl does not exist in the luggage which was golden electroplated. The Christians were asked about it but they replied, “We have nothing more. That bowl was spent on medicament of the deceased person. Thereupon the heirs reported the case to the Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) and requested that a bowl was missing. On that, He (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) administered an oath from the Christians in accordance with the previous verse. They both swore that the total luggage was this and they had seized nothing. The Messenger (grace, glory, blessings and peace be upon Him) absolved them.


After a few days, that bowl was found on a goldsmith shop and the shop-keeper told that the bowl was sold to him by Tiim and ‘Adii. Then the case was decided according to this verse, because the heirs did not have witnesses. It is commanded that if it is ascertained afterwards that both of them have been guilty of dishonesty and have seized some goods, and their oath was false, let two others take their place of those nearly concerned, and let them swear -
