Al Baqarah

HR Background

وَ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ عَلٰى سَفَرٍ وَّ لَمْ تَجِدُوْا كَاتِبًا فَرِهٰنٌ مَّقْبُوْضَةٌؕ-فَاِنْ اَمِنَ بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضًا فَلْیُؤَدِّ الَّذِی اؤْتُمِنَ اَمَانَتَهٗ وَ لْیَتَّقِ اللّٰهَ رَبَّهٗؕ-وَ لَا تَكْتُمُوا الشَّهَادَةَؕ-وَ مَنْ یَّكْتُمْهَا فَاِنَّهٗۤ اٰثِمٌ قَلْبُهٗؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ عَلِیْمٌ(283)

English translation of Kanz-ul-Irfan

And if you are travelling and do not find a scribe, deposit an item in the possession of the creditor. So if you trust each other, then the entrusted one (borrower) should deliver his trust (pay his debt) and fear Allah, who is his Lord. And do not conceal the testimony; and whosoever will conceal it, then his heart is sinful—and Allah is well aware of your deeds.[1]

Commentary

[1]

Consider verses 282 and 283; Allah Almighty has given clear instructions even in worldly matters. This demonstrates the completeness of our religion as it addresses all human needs, from creed and worship to agreements and transactions between people (mu‘āmalāt). The rights of people are most important and so Allah Almighty has stated them clearly. Furthermore, there are many points of wisdom in the laws of Islam and goodness for us.
