4:135
۞ يا ايها الذين امنوا كونوا قوامين بالقسط شهداء لله ولو على انفسكم او الوالدين والاقربين ان يكن غنيا او فقيرا فالله اولى بهما فلا تتبعوا الهوى ان تعدلوا وان تلووا او تعرضوا فان الله كان بما تعملون خبيرا ١٣٥
۞ يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ كُونُوا۟ قَوَّٰمِينَ بِٱلْقِسْطِ شُهَدَآءَ لِلَّهِ وَلَوْ عَلَىٰٓ أَنفُسِكُمْ أَوِ ٱلْوَٰلِدَيْنِ وَٱلْأَقْرَبِينَ ۚ إِن يَكُنْ غَنِيًّا أَوْ فَقِيرًۭا فَٱللَّهُ أَوْلَىٰ بِهِمَا ۖ فَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا۟ ٱلْهَوَىٰٓ أَن تَعْدِلُوا۟ ۚ وَإِن تَلْوُۥٓا۟ أَوْ تُعْرِضُوا۟ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ كَانَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرًۭا ١٣٥

وَإِنْ تَلْوُوا
wa-in talwū
“If you distort (the testimony) or refuse to give it…”
This reading is based on the verbal noun layy, ‘to distort’, so both actions are subject to God’s warning.
وَإِنْ تَلُوا
wa-in talū
“If you distort (the testimony) or refuse to give it…” OR “Whether you take it on or refuse...”
This reading may be taken to be a lightened form of the same verb. It may also be taken to come from the verbal noun wilayah, i.e. undertaking the testimony, so the subsequent phrase contains promise of reward for those who do so correctly.
