if you are on a journey where you cannot find a scribe finalize your contract in the form of a deposit in which the goods are already given to the parties. if you trust each other in such a contract let him pay back what he has entrusted you with and have fear of god his lord. do not refuse to testify to what you bore witness. whoever does so has committed a sin. god knows what you do.
وإن كنتم على سفر ولم تجدوا كاتبا فرهان مقبوضة فإن أمن بعضكم بعضا فليؤد الذي اؤتمن أمانته وليتق الله ربه ولا تكتموا الشهادة ومن يكتمها فإنه آثم قلبه والله بما تعملون عليم
