یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا شَهَادَةُ بَیْنِكُمْ اِذَا حَضَرَ اَحَدَكُمُ الْمَوْتُ حِیْنَ الْوَصِیَّةِ اثْنٰنِ ذَوَا عَدْلٍ مِّنْكُمْ اَوْ اٰخَرٰنِ مِنْ غَیْرِكُمْ اِنْ اَنْتُمْ ضَرَبْتُمْ فِی الْاَرْضِ فَاَصَابَتْكُمْ مُّصِیْبَةُ الْمَوْتِؕ-تَحْبِسُوْنَهُمَا مِنْۢ بَعْدِ الصَّلٰوةِ فَیُقْسِمٰنِ بِاللّٰهِ اِنِ ارْتَبْتُمْ لَا نَشْتَرِیْ بِهٖ ثَمَنًا وَّ لَوْ كَانَ ذَا قُرْبٰىۙ-وَ لَا نَكْتُمُ شَهَادَةَۙ-اللّٰهِ اِنَّاۤ اِذًا لَّمِنَ الْاٰثِمِیْنَ(106)

Kanz ul Iman Kanz ul Irfan

English translation of Kanz-ul-Imaan

O believers! The testimony amongst yourselves is that there should be two reliable men from amongst you at the time of making a will when death approaches any one of you, or any other two (outsiders), whilst you are travelling the earth and the calamity of death befalls you. Detain them both (i.e. the witnesses) after Salah; if you have any doubt, they should swear by Allah (saying), 'We shall not exchange our oaths for any price (as a bribe), even if he is a near relative, nor will we hide the testimony of Allah; if we do so, we are therefore definitely amongst the sinners.'

Commentary

This verse instructs the arrangement of two Muslim witnesses for one’s will as he nears death. If one is travelling and does not find Muslims to testify, he should appoint non-Muslim as witnesses to his will.
