then when they have reached their term retain them honourably or part from them honourably. and call in to witness two men of equity from among yourselves and perform the witnessing to god himself. by this then is admonished whosoever believes in god and the last day. and whosoever fears god he will appoint for him a way out and he will provide for him from whence he never reckoned. and whosoever puts his trust in god he shall suffice him. god attains his purpose. god has appointed a measure for everything.
فإذا بلغن أجلهن فأمسكوهن بمعروف أو فارقوهن بمعروف وأشهدوا ذوي عدل منكم وأقيموا الشهادة لله ذلكم يوعظ به من كان يؤمن بالله واليوم الآخر ومن يتق الله يجعل له مخرجا ويرزقه من حيث لا يحتسب ومن يتوكل على الله فهو حسبه إن الله بالغ أمره قد جعل الله لكل شيء قدرا
