002.280 Y:  If the debtor is in a difficulty, grant him time Till it is easy for him to repay.  But if ye remit it by way of charity, that is best for you if ye only knew.

P:  And if the debtor is in straitened circumstances, then (let there be) postponement to (the time of) ease; and that ye remit the debt as almsgiving would be better for you if ye did but know.

S:  And if (the debtor) is in straitness, then let there be postponement until (he is in) ease; and that you remit (it) as alms is better for you, if you knew.

002.281 Y:  And fear the Day when ye shall be brought back to Allah.  Then shall every soul be paid what it earned, and none shall be dealt with unjustly.

P:  And guard yourselves against a day in which ye will be brought back to Allah.  Then every soul will be paid in full that which it hath earned, and they will not be wronged.

S:  And guard yourselves against a day in which you shall be returned to Allah; then every soul shall be paid back in full what it has earned, and they shall not be dealt with unjustly.

002.282 Y:  O ye who believe!  When ye deal with each other, in transactions involving future obligations in a fixed period of time, reduce them to writing Let a scribe write down faithfully as between the parties:  let not the scribe refuse to write:  as Allah has taught him, so let him write.  Let him who incurs the liability dictate, but let him fear His Lord Allah, and not diminish aught of what he owes.  If they party liable is mentally deficient, or weak, or unable Himself to dictate, Let his guardian dictate faithfully, and get two witnesses, out of your own men, and if there are not two men, then a man and two women, such as ye choose, for witnesses, so that if one of them errs, the other can remind her.  The witnesses should not refuse when they are called on (For evidence).  Disdain not to reduce to writing (your contract) for a future period, whether it be small or big:  it is juster in the sight of Allah, More suitable as evidence, and more convenient to prevent doubts among yourselves but if it be a transaction which ye carry out on the spot among yourselves, there is no blame on you if ye reduce it not to writing.  But take witness whenever ye make a commercial contract; and let neither scribe nor witness suffer harm.  If ye do (such harm), it would be wickedness in you.  So fear Allah; For it is Good that teaches you.  And Allah is well acquainted with all things.  If ye are on a journey, and cannot find a scribe, a pledge with possession (may serve the purpose).  And if one of you deposits a thing on trust with another, let the trustee (faithfully) discharge his trust, and let him Fear his Lord conceal not evidence; for whoever conceals it, — his heart is tainted with sin.  And Allah knoweth all that ye do.
