2.Surah Al Baqarah
The Quranic Text & Ali’s Version:
لاَّ يُؤَاخِذُكُمُ اللّهُ بِاللَّغْوِ فِيَ أَيْمَانِكُمْ وَلَكِن يُؤَاخِذُكُم بِمَا كَسَبَتْ قُلُوبُكُمْ...
2:225. Allah will not call you to account for thoughtlessness in your oaths, but for the intention in your hearts;
C252. It has been held that thoughtless oaths, if there is no intention behind them, can be expiated by an act of charity.
... وَاللّهُ غَفُورٌ حَلِيمٌ ﴿٢٢٥﴾
and He is Oft-Forgiving, Most Forbearing.
Asad’s Version:
2: 255 …”Who is there that could intercede with Him, unless it be by His leave?”
