ٱلْبَقَرَة : ٨٤

  • وَإِذۡ And when
  • أَخَذۡنَا We took
  • مِيثَٰقَكُمۡ your covenant
  • لَا Not
  • تَسۡفِكُونَ will you shed
  • دِمَآءَكُمۡ your blood
  • وَلَا and not
  • تُخۡرِجُونَ (will) evict
  • أَنفُسَكُم yourselves
  • مِّن from
  • دِيَٰرِكُمۡ your homes
  • ثُمَّ then
  • أَقۡرَرۡتُمۡ you ratified
  • وَأَنتُمۡ while you
  • تَشۡهَدُونَ (were) witnessing
And [recall] when We took your covenant, [saying], "Do not shed your [i.e., each other's] blood or evict one another from your homes." Then you acknowledged [this] while you were witnessing.
And when We made a covenant with you, and We said: 'You shall not shed your own blood, spilling it by slaying one another; neither expel your own from your habitations': let no one of you expel the other from his house; then you confirmed it, that is, you accepted this covenant, and you bore witness, upon your own souls.
