Ahmed Raza Khan: Mohammed Aqib Qadri:
And if you are on a journey and cannot find a scribe,
then a mortgage (deposit) must be handed over; and if one of
you trusts the other, the one who is trusted may return the
mortgage entrusted to him and fear Allah, his Lord; and do not
hide testimony; and if one hides it, his heart is sinful from
within; and Allah knows what you do.
Yusuf Ali:
If ye are on a journey, and cannot find a scribe, a pledge
with possession (may serve the purpose). And if one of you deposits a thing
on trust with another, Let the trustee (Faithfully) discharge His trust,
and let him fear his Lord. Conceal not evidence; for whoever conceals it,-
His heart is tainted with sin. And Allah Knoweth all that ye do.
Pickthal:
If ye be on a journey and cannot find a scribe, then a pledge
in hand (shall suffice). And if one of you entrusteth to another let him
who is trusted deliver up that which is entrusted to him (according to the
pact between them) and let him observe his duty to Allah his Lord. Hide not
testimony. He who hideth it, verily his heart is sinful. Allah is Aware of
what ye do.
