Al-Baqarah 2:283 ۞ وان كنتم على سفر ولم تجدوا كاتبا فرهان مقبوضة فان امن بعضكم بعضا فليود الذي اوتمن امانته وليتق الله ربه ولا تكتموا الشهادة ومن يكتمها فانه اثم قلبه والله بما تعملون عليم ٢٨٣

۞ وَإِن
كُنتُمۡ
عَلَىٰ
سَفَرٖ
وَلَمۡ
تَجِدُواْ
كَاتِبٗا
فَرِهَٰنٞ
مَّقۡبُوضَةٞۖ
فَإِنۡ
أَمِنَ
بَعۡضُكُم
بَعۡضٗا
فَلۡيُؤَدِّ
ٱلَّذِي
ٱؤۡتُمِنَ
أَمَٰنَتَهُۥ
وَلۡيَتَّقِ
ٱللَّهَ
رَبَّهُۥۗ
وَلَا
تَكۡتُمُواْ
ٱلشَّهَٰدَةَۚ
وَمَن
يَكۡتُمۡهَا
فَإِنَّهُۥٓ
ءَاثِمٞ
قَلۡبُهُۥۗ
وَٱللَّهُ
بِمَا
تَعۡمَلُونَ
عَلِيمٞ
٢٨٣
If ye be on a journey and cannot find a scribe, then a pledge in hand (shall suffice). And if one of you entrusteth to another let him who is trusted deliver up that which is entrusted to him (according to the pact between them) and let him observe his duty to Allah his Lord. Hide not testimony. He who hideth it, verily his heart is sinful. Allah is Aware of what ye do.

— M. Pickthall

And if you are on a journey and cannot find a scribe, then a security deposit [should be] taken. And if one of you entrusts another, then let him who is entrusted discharge his trust [faithfully] and let him fear Allāh, his Lord. And do not conceal testimony, for whoever conceals it - his heart is indeed sinful, and Allāh is Knowing of what you do.

— Saheeh International

If ye are on a journey, and cannot find a scribe, a pledge with possession (may serve the purpose). And if one of you deposits a thing on trust with another, Let the trustee (Faithfully) discharge His trust, and let him fear his Lord. Conceal not evidence; for whoever conceals it,- His heart is tainted with sin. And Allah Knoweth all that ye do.

— A. Yusuf Ali
