2:283

وَاِنْ كُنْتُمْ عَلٰى سَفَرٍ وَلَمْ تَجِدُوا كَاتِبًا فَرِهَانٌ مَقْبُوضَةٌؕ فَاِنْ اَمِنَ بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضًا فَلْیُؤَدِّ الَّذِی اؤْتُمِنَ اَمَانَتَهُ وَلْیَتَّقِ اللّٰهَ رَبَّهُؕ وَلَا تَكْتُمُوا الشَّهَادَةَؕ وَمَنْ یَكْتُمْهَا فَاِنَّهُٓ اٰثِمٌ قَلْبُهُؕ وَاللّٰهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ عَلٖیمٌࣖ

Wain kuntum AAala safarin walam tajidoo katiban farihanun maqboodatun fain amina baAAdukum baAAdan falyuaddi allathee itumina amanatahu walyattaqi Allaha rabbahu wala taktumoo alshshahadata waman yaktumha fainnahu athimun qalbuhu waAllahu bima taAAmaloona AAaleemun

Translations

And if you are on a journey and cannot find a scribe, then a security deposit [should be] taken. And if one of you entrusts another, then let him who is entrusted discharge his trust [faithfully] and let him fear Allah, his Lord. And do not conceal testimony, for whoever conceals it - his heart is indeed sinful, and Allah is Knowing of what you do

Saheeh International

If ye be on a journey and cannot find a scribe, then a pledge in hand (shall suffice). And if one of you entrusteth to another let him who is trusted deliver up that which is entrusted to him (according to the pact between them) and let him observe his duty to Allah his Lord. Hide not testimony. He who hideth it, verily his heart is sinful. Allah is Aware of what ye do
