أَن that تَكْتُبُوهُ you write it - صَغِيرًا small أَوْ or كَبِيرًا large إِلَىٰٓ for أَجَلِهِۦ its term. ذَٰلِكُمْ That أَقْسَطُ (is) more just

أَلَّا that not تَكْتُبُوهَا you write it. وَأَشْهِدُوٓا۟ And take witness إِذَا when تَبَايَعْتُمْ you make commercial transaction. وَلَا And not يُضَآرَّ (should) be harmed كَاتِبٌ (the) scribe
وَلَا and not شَهِيدٌ (the) witness, وَإِن and if تَفْعَلُوا۟ you do, فَإِنَّهُۥ then indeed it فُسُوقٌۢ (is) sinful conduct بِكُمْ for you, وَٱتَّقُوا۟ and fear
ٱللَّهَ Allah. وَيُعَلِّمُكُمُ And teaches ٱللَّهُ Allah. وَٱللَّهُ And Allah بِكُلِّ of every شَىْءٍ thing عَلِيمٌ (is) All-Knower.
