The Holy Quran 4:62 — Surah An-Nisa

Arabic text

فَكَيْفَ إِذَآ أَصَـٰبَتْهُم مُّصِيبَةٌۢ بِمَا قَدَّمَتْ أَيْدِيهِمْ ثُمَّ جَآءُوكَ يَحْلِفُونَ بِٱللَّهِ إِنْ أَرَدْنَآ إِلَّآ إِحْسَـٰنًا وَتَوْفِيقًا

Translation

Then they will come to you taking oaths (saying), "By Allaah! We only intended good and mutual harmony (by referring our disputes to others)."

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani
