Verse (5:42)

The analysis above refers to the 42nd verse of chapter 5 (sūrat l-māidah):

Sahih International: [They are] avid listeners to falsehood, devourers of [what is] unlawful. So if they come to you, [O Muúammad], judge between them or turn away from them. And if you turn away from them – never will they harm you at all. And if you judge, judge between them with justice. Indeed, Allah loves those who act justly.
