men and women, when ye heard it, think good of their own folk, and say: it is
a manifest untruth?
13a. Why did they not
produce four witnesses?

Commentary
The people who embraced Islam and repented of previous wicked deeds,
and determined that they would pass a chaste and pure life in future, they
should be fearless totally from the acts of their mutual violence against one
another. They should have full faith in one another that every person of the
society will guard life, wealth and property, honor and chastity of every other
member of the community; and will save reputation of Islamic Society from
ungraceful brand of sins.
When every member of the society determined it then there is no
chance of being the chaste and pure culture sullen due to groundless rumors. It
was required that every that individual who heard this slander, should have said
unhesitatingly and without delay that it was (God preserve thee from it)
entirely false imputation. And it was an illusion of hidden enemies spread by
conspiring for spreading restlessness among the Muslims by violence. To spread
suspicion mutually by false slander and accusing the good people falsely are
devilish works. This Law has been established to hush up the mischief-makers
that none should accuse any other of adultery, until he has four reliable and
lawful witnesses to prove that he speaks the truth. Without it, if any person
says something wrong to vilify any other, then all people should say unanimously
that “You are telling a lie entirely. It is a false scandal. None can commit
any such work in Islamic Society. Chaste people are at a great distance from it”.
