46- THE RIGHT OF HIM FROM WHOM YOU BEG

And the right of him from whom you beg ⁵³ is that you should accept from him whatever he grants you with gratitude and acknowledges his nobility. And you should accept his excuse if he withholds and think well of him. And you should realize that if he withholds, he is withholding his own property, and that he could not be blamed for withholding his own property. If he is doing wrong, "then man is certainly wrong-doing and unbelieving."

وَأمّــــــــا حَقُّ المَسئولِ فَحَقُّهُ إن' أَع'طَى قُبلَ مِن'هُ مَـــــــــــــا أَع'طَى بالشُّك'رِ لَهُ وَالمَع'رِفَةِ لِفَض'لِهِ وَطَلَبَ وَج'هِ ال'عُذ'رِ فِي مَنعِهِ، وَأَح'سَنَ بهِ الظَّنَّ. وَاع'لَم' أنَّهُ إن' مَنِعَ [فَ]مَالَهُ مَنَعَ وَأَن' لَي'سَ التَّثرِيبُ فِي مَــــــــــالِه،(47) وَإن' كَانَ ظَالِمًا فَإنَّ الإنسَانَ لَظلُومٌ كَفَّارٌ.
