Sura 2
Aya 188
188
وَلا تَأكُلوا أَموالَكُم بَينَكُم بِالباطِلِ وَتُدلوا بِها إِلَى الحُكّامِ لِتَأكُلوا فَريقًا مِن أَموالِ النّاسِ بِالإِثمِ وَأَنتُم تَعلَمونَ

Muhammad Asad

AND DEVOUR NOT one another's possessions wrongfully, and neither employ legal artifices1 with a view to devouring sinfully, and knowingly, anything that by right belongs to others.2
  • Lit., "and do not throw it to the judges" - i.e., with a view to being decided by them contrary to what is right (Zamakhshari, Baydawi).
  • Lit., "a part of [other] people's possessions".
