2:283

Salaam all,

This is 2:283
وَإِن كُنتُمْ عَلَى سَفَرٍ وَلَمْ تَجِدُواْ كَاتِبًا فَرِهَانٌ مَّقْبُوضَةٌ فَإِنْ أَمِنَ بَعْضُكُم بَعْضًا فَلْيُؤَدِّ الَّذِي اؤْتُمِنَ أَمَانَتَهُ وَلْيَتَّقِ اللّهَ رَبَّهُ وَلاَ تَكْتُمُواْ الشَّهَادَةَ وَمَن يَكْتُمْهَا فَإِنَّهُ آثِمٌ قَلْبُهُ وَاللّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ عَلِيمٌ
Wain kuntum AAala safarin walam tajidoo katiban farihanun maqboodatun fain amina baAAdukum baAAdan falyuaddi allathee itumina amanatahu walyattaqi Allaha rabbahu wala taktumoo alshshahadata waman yaktumha fainnahu athimun qalbuhu waAllahu bima taAAmaloona AAaleemun

The Aya says:
And if you happened to be traveling and did not find a scribe, then collateral received. So, if you trusted each other, then the one who was trusted shall deliver his safe keep, and he shall make himself conscious of Allah, his nurturing Lord. And do not suppress the testimony, and whoever suppresses her, then, verily, his heart broke God’s law. And Allah, in what you do, all knowing.

My personal note:
The Aya continues that in case of travel and the ability to write a contract of the debt, then leaving a collateral or a pawn will be fine. It then continues with the suggestion that if people trusted each other, then that would be fine. However, it reminds the one who was trusted that he should deliver the debt when the time came. It reminds him to be conscious of Allah and that breaking the trust is a sign that he/she broke God’s law. The Aya ends up reminding us that Allah knows what we do.
