O ye who believe! When death approaches any of you, (take) witnesses among yourselves when making bequests,- two just men of your own (brotherhood) or others from outside if ye are journeying through the earth, and the chance of death befalls you (thus). If ye doubt (their truth), detain them both after prayer, and let them both swear by God. “We wish not in this for any worldly gain, even though the (beneficiary) be our near relation: we shall hide not the evidence before God. if we do, then behold! the sin be upon us!¹"
