| But if it gets known that these two were guilty of the sin of perjury , let two others stand forth in their places,- nearest in kin from among those who claim a lawful right: let them swear by Allah: "We affirm that our witness is truer than that of those two, and that we have not trespassed beyond the truth : if we did, behold! | the wrong be upon us! But then, if it is afterwards ascertained that both of them merit the suspicion of sin, let two others take their place of those nearly concerned, and let them swear by Allah, saying : Verily our testimony is truer than their testimony and we have not transgressed the bounds of duty , for them indeed we should be of the evil-doers |
