Sura 5
Aya 107
107
فَإِن عُثِرَ عَلىٰ أَنَّهُمَا استَحَقّا إِثمًا فَآخَرانِ يَقومانِ مَقامَهُما مِنَ الَّذينَ استَحَقَّ عَلَيهِمُ الأَولَيانِ فَيُقسِمانِ بِاللَّهِ لَشَهادَتُنا أَحَقُّ مِن شَهادَتِهِما وَمَا اعتَدَينا إِنّا إِذًا لَمِنَ الظّالِمينَ

T. B. Irving

If it turns out that either of them has been accused of any sin, then let two others than the first two from among those who deserve to be [executors] stand up in their stead. Let them both swear by God: "Our testimony is more valid than the testimony by either of them; we have never defied [God] for then we would be wrongdoers!"
