If you entrust some of the People of the Book, with a large quantity of gold, they will return it to you while if you entrust others among them with a small quantity of gold, they will not give it back to you unless you keep insisting on its return. For they say, "We are not bound to keep our words with the illiterate people," and they themselves knowingly ascribe false statements to God.
از ميان اهل كتاب كسى است كه اگر او را امين شمرى و قنطارى به او بسپارى آن را به تو باز مى‌گرداند، و از ايشان كسى است كه اگر امينش شمرى و دينارى به او بسپارى جز به تقاضا و مطالبت آن را بازنگرداند. زيرا مى‌گويد: راه اعتراض مردم مكه بر ما بسته است و كس ما را ملامت نكند. اينان خود مى‌دانند كه به خدا دروغ مى‌بندند.
