Commentary

a. A person who borrows and purposely delays returning a debt, and desires not to pay it back, such a person, though in the eyes of law cannot be proved a thief, is an offender, and will be punished in the Hereafter. b. Allāh is All-Knowing, and knows what is in the hearts of His slaves; therefore, Muslims should not cheat each other. It is possible to cheat each other, but it is not possible to cheat Allāh.
