5:104

وَإِذَا And when قِيلَ it is said لَهُمْ to them تَعَالَوْا۟ Come إِلَىٰ to مَآ what أَنزَلَ has (been) revealed ٱللَّهُ (by) Allah وَإِلَى and to ٱلرَّسُولِ the Messenger قَالُوا۟ they said حَسْبُنَا Sufficient for us مَا (is) what وَجَدْنَا we found عَلَيْهِ upon it ءَابَآءَنَآ ۚ our forefathers أَوَلَوْ Even though كَانَ (that) ءَابَآؤُهُمْ their forefathers لَا (were) not يَعْلَمُونَ knowing شَيْـًۭٔا anything وَلَا and not يَهْتَدُونَ they (were) guided ١٠٤

And when it is said to them, "Come to what Allāh has revealed and to the Messenger," they say, "Sufficient for us is that upon which we found our fathers." Even though their fathers knew nothing, nor were they guided?

5:105

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا O you ٱلَّذِينَ who ءَامَنُوا۟ believe عَلَيْكُمْ Upon you أَنفُسَكُمْ ۖ (is to guard) yourselves لَا Not يَضُرُّكُم will harm you مَّن (those) who ضَلَّ (have gone) astray إِذَا when ٱهْتَدَيْتُمْ ۚ you have been guided إِلَى To ٱللَّهِ Allah مَرْجِعُكُمْ (is) your return جَمِيعًۭا all فَيُنَبِّئُكُم then He will inform you بِمَا of what كُنتُمْ you used to تَعْمَلُونَ do ١٠٥

O you who have believed, upon you is [responsibility for] yourselves. Those who have gone astray will not harm you when you have been guided. To Allāh is your return all together; then He will inform you of what you used to do.

5:106

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا O you ٱلَّذِينَ who ءَامَنُوا۟ believe شَهَـٰدَةُ (Take) testimony بَيْنِكُمْ among you إِذَا when حَضَرَ approaches أَحَدَكُمُ one of you ٱلْمَوْتُ [the] death حِينَ (at the) time (of making) ٱلْوَصِيَّةِ [the] a will ٱثْنَانِ two ذَوَا men عَدْلٍۢ just مِّنكُمْ among you أَوْ or ءَاخَرَانِ two others مِنْ from غَيْرِكُمْ other than you إِنْ if أَنتُمْ you ضَرَبْتُمْ (are) travel(ing) فِى in ٱلْأَرْضِ the earth فَأَصَـٰبَتْكُم then befalls you مُّصِيبَةُ calamity ٱلْمَوْتِ ۚ (of) [the] death تَحْبِسُونَهُمَا Detain both of them مِنۢ from بَعْدِ after ٱلصَّلَوٰةِ the prayer فَيُقْسِمَانِ and let them both swear بِٱللَّهِ by Allah إِنِ if ٱرْتَبْتُمْ you doubt لَا Not نَشْتَرِى we will exchange بِهِۦ it for ثَمَنًۭا a price وَلَوْ even if كَانَ he is ذَا (of) قُرْبَىٰ ۙ a near relative وَلَا and not نَكْتُمُ we will conceal شَهَـٰدَةَ testimony ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah إِنَّآ Indeed, we إِذًۭا then لَّمِنَ (will) surely (be) of ٱلْـَٔاثِمِينَ the sinners ١٠٦

O you who have believed, testimony [should be taken] among you when death approaches one of you at the time of bequest - [that of] two just men from among you or two others from outside if you are traveling through the land and the disaster of death should strike you. Detain them after the prayer and let them both swear by Allāh if you doubt [their testimony, saying], "We will not exchange it [i.e., our oath] for a price [i.e., worldly gain], even if he should be a near relative, and we will not withhold the testimony of [i.e., ordained by] Allāh. Indeed, we would then be of the sinful."

5:107

فَإِنْ Then if عُثِرَ it is discovered عَلَىٰٓ (on) أَنَّهُمَا that the two ٱسْتَحَقَّآ (were) guilty إِثْمًۭا (of) sin فَـَٔاخَرَانِ then (let) two others يَقُومَانِ stand مَقَامَهُمَا (in) their place مِنَ from ٱلَّذِينَ those who ٱسْتَحَقَّ have a lawful right عَلَيْهِمُ over them ٱلْأَوْلَيَـٰنِ the former two فَيُقْسِمَانِ and let them both swear بِٱللَّهِ by Allah لَشَهَـٰدَتُنَآ Surely our testimony أَحَقُّ (is) truer مِن than شَهَـٰدَتِهِمَا testimony of the other two وَمَا and not ٱعْتَدَيْنَآ we have transgressed إِنَّآ Indeed, we إِذًۭا then لَّمِنَ (will be) of ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ the wrongdoers ١٠٧

But if it is found that those two were guilty of sin [i.e., perjury], let two others stand in their place [who are] foremost [in claim] from those who have a lawful right. And let them swear by Allāh, "Our testimony is truer than their testimony, and we have not transgressed. Indeed, we would then be of the wrongdoers."

5:108

ذَٰلِكَ That أَدْنَىٰٓ (is) closer أَن that يَأْتُوا۟ they will give بِٱلشَّهَـٰدَةِ the testimony عَلَىٰ in وَجْهِهَآ its (true) form أَوْ or يَخَافُوٓا۟ they would fear أَن that تُرَدَّ will be refuted أَيْمَـٰنٌۢ their oaths بَعْدَ after أَيْمَـٰنِهِمْ ۗ their (others) oaths وَٱتَّقُوا۟ And fear ٱللَّهَ Allah وَٱسْمَعُوا۟ ۗ and listen وَٱللَّهُ and Allah لَا (does) not يَهْدِى guide ٱلْقَوْمَ the people ٱلْفَـٰسِقِينَ the defiantly disobedient ١٠٨

That is more likely that they will give testimony according to its [true] objective, or [at least] they would fear that [other] oaths might be taken after their oaths. And fear Allāh and listen [i.e., obey Him]; and Allāh does not guide the defiantly disobedient people.
