سَمَّٰعُونَ لِلْكَذِبِ أَكَّٰلُونَ لِلسُّحْتِ ۚ فَإِن جَآءُوكَ فَٱحْكُم بَيْنَهُمْ أَوْ أَعْرِضْ عَنْهُمْ ۖ وَإِن تُعْرِضْ عَنْهُمْ فَلَن يَضُرُّوكَ شَيْـًۭٔا ۖ وَإِنْ حَكَمْتَ فَٱحْكُم بَيْنَهُم بِٱلْقِسْطِ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُحِبُّ ٱلْمُقْسِطِينَ
How to read it
Sammāʻūna lil'kadhibi 'akkālūna li ssuḥ'ti . fa'in jā'ūka fa-ḥ'kum bay'nahum' 'aw' 'aʻ'riḍ' ʻan'hum' . wa'in tuʻ'riḍ' ʻan'hum' falan yaḍurrūka shay''an . wa'in' ḥakam'ta fa-ḥ'kum bay'nahum bil-qis'ṭi . 'inna -llaha yuḥibbu l-muq'siṭīna
(They are fond of) listening to falsehood, of devouring anything forbidden. If they do come to thee, either judge between them, or decline to interfere. If thou decline, they cannot hurt thee in the least. If thou judge, judge in equity between them. For Allah loveth those who judge in equity.
Translation: Abdullah Yusuf Ali
