سَمَّاعُونَ لِلْكَذِبِ أَكَّالُونَ لِلسُّحْتِ فَإِنْ جَاءُوكَ فَاحْكُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ أَوْ أَعْرِضْ عَنْهُمْ وَإِنْ تُعْرِضْ عَنْهُمْ فَلَنْ يَضُرُّوكَ شَيْئا ً وَإِنْ حَكَمْتَ فَاحْكُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ بِالْقِسْطِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُقْسِطِينَ
Sammā`ūna Lilkadhibi 'Akkālūna Lilssuĥti Fa'in Jā'ūka Fāĥkum Baynahum 'Aw 'A`riĐ `Anhum Wa 'In Tu`riĐ `Anhum Falan YaĐurrūka Shay'āan Wa 'In Ĥakamta Fāĥkum Baynahum Bil-Qisţi 'Inna Allāha Yuĥibbu Al-Muqsiţīna
They listen to lies, and consume money illicitly. If they come to you, then you may judge between them or turn away from them; and if you turn away from them then they cannot harm you in the least; and if you judge then judge between them with justice. God loves those who are just.
5:62
وَتَرَى كَثِيرا ً مِنْهُمْ يُسَارِعُونَ فِي الإِثْمِ وَالْعُدْوَانِ وَأَكْلِهِمُ السُّحْتَ لَبِئْسَ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ
Wa Tará Kathīrāan Minhum Yusāri`ūna Fī Al-'Ithmi Wa Al-`Udwāni Wa 'Aklihimu As-Suĥta Labi'sa Mā Kānū Ya`malūna
And you see many of them hasten to sin and transgression and consuming money illicitly. Miserable indeed is what they were doing.
5:63
لَوْلاَ يَنْهَاهُمُ الرَّبَّانِيُّونَ وَالأَحْبَارُ عَنْ قَوْلِهِمُ الإِثْمَ وَأَكْلِهِمُ السُّحْتَ لَبِئْسَ مَا كَانُوا يَصْنَعُونَ
Lawlā Yanhāhumu Ar-Rabbānīyūna Wa Al-'Aĥbāru `An Qawlihimu Al-'Ithma Wa 'Aklihimu As-Suĥta Labi'sa Mā Kānū Yaşna`ūna
If only the Devotees and Priests had prohibited them for speaking evil and consuming money illicitly. Miserable indeed is what they have done.
20:61
قَالَ لَهُمْ مُوسَى وَيْلَكُمْ لاَ تَفْتَرُوا عَلَى اللَّهِ كَذِبا ً فَيُسْحِتَكُمْ بِعَذَاب ٍ وَقَدْ خَابَ مَنِ افْتَرَى
Qāla Lahum Mūsá Waylakum Lā Taftarū `Alá Allāhi Kadhibāan Fayusĥitakum Bi`adhābin Wa Qad Khāba Mani Aftará
Moses said to them: "Woe to you, do not invent lies about God, else the retribution will take you, and miserable is the one who invents."
