﴿ وَلَا تَأْكُلُوٓا۟ أَمْوَٰلَكُم بَيْنَكُم بِٱلْبَٰطِلِ وَتُدْلُوا۟ بِهَآ إِلَى ٱلْحُكَّامِ لِتَأْكُلُوا۟ فَرِيقًۭا مِّنْ أَمْوَٰلِ ٱلنَّاسِ بِٱلْإِثْمِ وَأَنتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ ﴾
“AND DEVOUR NOT one another's possessions wrongfully, and neither employ legal artifices with a view to devouring sinfully, and knowingly, anything that by right belongs to others.”
Consume not your goods between you in deception and proffer them to the judges that you may consume a portion of other people's goods in sin while you are aware. When you turn to created beings to judge matters know that God is watch- ing over you and His knowledge encompasses you. So situate yourself with shyness before the Real ������. Created beings know externals ẓawāhir but the Real ������ ������ is the One who governs the innermost secrets of hearts sarāÌir.
