Among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) is he who, if entrusted with a Cantar (a great amount of wealth, etc.), will readily pay it back; and among them there is he who, if entrusted with a single silver coin, will not repay it unless you constantly stand demanding, because they say: "There is no blame on us to betray and take the properties of the illiterates (Arabs)." But they tell a lie against Allah while they know it.
Na miongoni mwa Watu wa Kitabu yupo ambaye ukimpa amana ya mrundi wa mali atakurudishia, na miongoni mwao yupo ambaye ukimpa amana ya dinari moja hakurudishii isipo kuwa ukimsimamia kumdai. Haya ni kwa kuwa wakisema: Hatuna lawama kwa ajili ya hawa wasio jua kusoma. Na wanamzulia uwongo Mwenyezi Mungu, hali nao wanajua.
