سَمَّاعُونَ لِلْكَذِبِ اَكَّالُونَ لِلسُّحْتِؕ فَاِنْ جَٓاؤُ𐻿كَ فَاحْكُمْ بَیْنَهُمْ اَوْ اَعْرِضْ عَنْهُمْۚ وَاِنْ تُعْرِضْ عَنْهُمْ فَلَنْ یَضُرُّوكَ شَیْـًٔاؕ وَاِنْ حَكَمْتَ فَاحْكُمْ بَیْنَهُمْ بِالْقِسْطِؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ یُحِبُّ الْمُقْسِطٖینَ

SammaAAoona lilkathibi akkaloona lilssuhti fain jaooka faohkum baynahum aw aAArid AAanhum wain tuAArid AAanhum falan yadurrooka shayan wain hakamta faohkum baynahum bialqisti inna Allaha yuhibbu almuqsiteena

Translations

[They are] avid listeners to falsehood, devourers of [what is] unlawful. So if they come to you, [O Muhammad], judge between them or turn away from them. And if you turn away from them - never will they harm you at all. And if you judge, judge between them with justice. Indeed, Allah loves those who act justly

Saheeh International

Listeners for the sake of falsehood! Greedy for illicit gain! If then they have recourse unto thee (Muhammad) judge between them or disclaim jurisdiction. If thou disclaimest jurisdiction, then they cannot harm thee at all. But if thou judgest, judge between them with equity. Lo! Allah loveth the equitable
