Transliteration:( Fa in 'usira 'alaaa annahumas tahaqqaaa isman fa aakharaani yaqoomaani maqaamahumaa minal lazeenas tahaqqa 'alaihimul awlayaani fa yuqsimaani billaahi lashahaadatunaaa ahaqqu min shahaadatihimaaa wa ma'tadainaaa innaaa izal laminaz zaalimeen )

107. Then if it is discovered that they became guilty of any sin (289), then two others should stand (290) in their place from among those nearest to the deceased whose right has been injured by this sin (this false evidence). Then they should swear by Allah that our evidence is more upright then the evidence of these two. And we crossed (291), not the limit. If it were so, then we should be the unjust (292).

Surah Al-Maidah Ayat 107 Tafsir (Commentry)



  • Tafseer-e-Naeemi (Ahmad Yaar Khan)
  • Ibn Kathir
  • Ala-Madudi

289. The words "umongst the sinners" refers to the incident of Adi and Tameem when both were proven to be liars after the bowl was recovered in Makkah Mukkarramah. 

290. By this is meant two heirs of the  deceased should swear an oath that both these so called trustees are false. From this we learn that in monetary matters as well as in most other matters testimony of two is essential. In matters concerning adultery it is important to have four witnesses. The testimony of one person is sufficient to accept the sighting of the Ramadaan crescent, when the sky is overcast Sometimes one testimony and one place is deemed acceptable. Says Allah Almighty: "And a witness from the household of the woman bore witness." (S12:V26) 

291 Thus when the bowl was recovered from Makkah Muazzama Hazrat Budail's two heirs swore an oath that it belongs to their legator and they are truthful in this matter. 

292. From this, we learn that sometimes there can be two claimants  of a thing and it would be essential to establish the testimony of both. We further learn that it is obligatory upon negators of claim to testify. The incident of Hazrat Budail has already been discussed earlier in respect of reason for its revelationthe .
