Al-Ma'idah 5:108 ذالك ادنى ان ياتوا بالشهادة على وجهها او يخافوا ان ترد ايمان بعد ايمانهم واتقوا الله واسمعوا والله لا يهدي القوم الفاسقين ١٠٨

5:108
ذَٰلِكَ
أَدۡنَىٰٓ
أَن
يَأۡتُواْ
بِٱلشَّهَٰدَةِ
عَلَىٰ
وَجۡهِهَآ
أَوۡ
يَخَافُوٓاْ
أَن
تُرَدَّ
أَيۡمَٰنُۢ
بَعۡدَ
أَيۡمَٰنِهِمۡۗ
وَٱتَّقُواْ
ٱللَّهَ
وَٱسۡمَعُواْۗ
وَٱللَّهُ
لَا

Thus it is more likely that they will bear true witness or fear that after their oaths the oaths (of others) will be taken. So be mindful of your duty (to Allah) and hearken. Allah guideth not the froward folk.

Chapter 5, Page 125, Juz 7

105. O ye who believe! Ye have charge of your own souls. He who erreth cannot injure you if ye are rightly guided. Unto Allah ye will all return; and then He will inform you of what ye used to do. 106. O ye who believe! Let there be witnesses between you when death draweth nigh unto one of you, at the time of bequest - two witnesses, just men from among you, or two others from another tribe, in case ye are campaigning in the land and the calamity of death befall you. Ye shall empanel them both after the prayer, and, if ye doubt, they shall be made to swear by Allah (saying): We will not take a bribe, even though it were (on behalf of) a near kinsman nor will we hide the testimony of Allah, for then indeed we should be of the sinful. 107. But then, if it is afterwards ascertained that both of them merit (the suspicion of) sin, let two others take their place of those nearly concerned, and let them swear by Allah, (saying): Verily our testimony is truer than their testimony and we have not transgressed (the bounds of duty), for them indeed we should be of the evil-doers. 108. Thus it is more likely that they will bear true witness or fear that after their oaths the oaths (of others) will be taken. So be mindful of your duty (to Allah) and hearken. Allah guideth not the froward folk.
