وَلَا
تَكُونُوا
كَالَّتِي
نَقَضَتْ
غَزْلَهَا
مِن
بَعْدِ
قُوَّةٍ
أَنكَاثًا
تَتَّخِذُونَ
أَيْمَانَكُمْ
دَخَلًا
بَيْنَكُمْ
أَن
تَكُونَ
أُمَّةٌ
هِيَ
أَرْبَى
مِنْ
أُمَّةٍ
إِنَّمَا
يَبْلُوكُمُ
اللَّهُ
بِهِ
وَلَيُبَيِّنَنَّ
لَكُمْ
يَوْمَ
الْقِيَامَةِ
مَا
كُنتُمْ
فِيهِ
تَخْتَلِفُونَ

Do not be like the lady behind the spinning wheel who has broken the yarn by pulling it with unnecessary force. You must not consider your oaths as means of deceit to benefit one party and incur loss upon the other. God tests your faith by your oaths. He will make clear to you who was right and who was wrong on the Day of Judgment.
