(They) are the ones who spy to coin lies. (Moreover,) they voraciously devour unlawful wealth and property. If they approach you (with a dispute for judgment) then it is (up to) you whether to judge between them or decline. And if you opt to keep away from them (even then) they are incapable of doing you any harm but if you judge, then judge between them (too but) with justice (i.e. their enmity should not restrain judgment based on justice). Undoubtedly, Allah loves those who do justice.
