5.42

سَمّٰعُوْنَ لِلْكَذِبِ اَكّٰلُوْنَ لِلسُّحْتِؕ-فَاِنْ جَآءُوْكَ فَاحْكُمْ بَیْنَهُمْ اَوْ اَعْرِضْ عَنْهُمْۚ-وَ اِنْ تُعْرِضْ عَنْهُمْ فَلَنْ یَّضُرُّوْكَ شَیْــٴًـاؕ-وَ اِنْ حَكَمْتَ فَاحْكُمْ بَیْنَهُمْ بِالْقِسْطِؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ یُحِبُّ الْمُقْسِطِیْنَ(42)

Kanz ul Iman Kanz ul Irfan

English translation of Kanz-ul-Imaan

The excessively keen listeners of falsehood, extreme devourers of the unlawful; hence, if they present themselves in your august court (O Beloved), so, judge between them or turn your face away from them (i.e. you have the choice). And if you turn your face away from them, they cannot therefore harm you at all; and if you judge between them, judge therefore with fairness (as you always do); indeed, Allah loves those who are just.

Commentary

The Jewish rulers and scholars used to accept bribes to change religious verdicts. They were “consuming the unlawful” as they fabricated laws stating that the unlawful is lawful. Remember, taking and giving a bribe are both unlawful actions; the giver and recipient are both reprehensible. However, it is permitted to give a bribe to avoid the oppression of a tyrant or to attain a personal right, but it is still unlawful for the recipient.
