Form of forgiveness for the liars

Chapter Nuur” – (Light) - 24

‘A-‘uu-zu  Billaahi minash-Shay-taanir- Rajiim.
 (I seek refuge in Allaah from Satan the outcast)

Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.

(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

إِلَّا ٱلَّذِينَ تَابُوا۟ مِنۢ بَعْدِ ذَٰلِكَ وَأَصْلَحُوا۟ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ 5 وَٱلَّذِينَ يَرْمُونَ أَزْوَٰجَهُمْ وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُمْ شُهَدَآءُ إِلَّآ أَنفُسُهُمْ فَشَهَٰدَةُ أَحَدِهِمْ أَرْبَعُ شَهَٰدَٰتٍۭ بِٱللَّهِ إِنَّهُۥ لَمِنَ ٱلصَّٰدِقِينَ 6  

5.  Save those who afterward repent and make amends. Then (for such) lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

6a.  As for those who accuse their wives but have no witnesses except themselves;
5.  ‘Illallaziina  taabuu  mim-  ba’-di  zaalika  wa  ‘aslahuu.  Fa-‘innAllaaha  Gafuurur-Rahiim.

6a.  Wallaziina  yarmuuna  ‘az-waajahum  wa  lam  yakul-lahum  shuhadaaa-‘u  ‘illaaa  ‘anfusuhum

Commentary

Yarmuuna – (those who accuse), this word has come out from ramiyun, actual meaning of which is “to shoot anything from distance, for example, an arrow with the bow etc. by which a person is wounded”. Abusing, accusing or using disagreeable words against someone is also like shooting him with arrow. If a person said about any other before the people that he/she has committed adultery, then that person injured his/her honor and fame as much that its wound will be deeper than the wound of the arrow. According to Law; it is called “Qazf” (a publication to defame someone), and if the blamer does not produce four witnesses, then his/her punishment will be scourging with eighty stripes, which is called “Hadd Qazf” (Line of Libel).

It is incumbent on the mankind that he should never asperse any other; otherwise there is a threat of creating a great disturbance. Above mentioned punishment is against common forms of Qazf (Libel). But if a husband says something wrong concerning his wife, for example he says that she has committed adultery, then what should be done in this form?

According to common Law, he should produce four witnesses for proving his claim. If the reliable witnesses are produced and their testimony is accepted, then his wife will be punished by stoning, which is punishment for the honorable woman adulteress. But if the reliable witnesses are not available, even then the matter will not be left as it is, because after accusing own wife of adultery, mutual relations between husband and wife cannot remain pleasant. In this form there is commandment of “Li-‘aan” – (four times testimony and at fifth time, invoking the curse of Allah on him if he lies), which will be discussed in upcoming lessons.
