﴿يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا شَهَادَةُ بَيْنِكُمْ إِذَا حَضَرَ أَحَدَكُمُ الْمَوْتُ حِينَ الْوَصِيَّةِ اثْنَانِ ذَوَا عَدْلٍ مِّنكُمْ أَوْ آخَرَانِ مِنْ غَيْرِكُمْ إِنْ أَنتُمْ ضَرَبْتُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ فَأَصَابَتْكُم مُّصِيبَةُ الْمَوْتِ ۚ تَحْبِسُونَهُمَا مِن بَعْدِ الصَّلَاةِ فَيُقْسِمَانِ بِاللَّهِ إِنِ ارْتَبْتُمْ لَا نَشْتَرِي بِهِ ثَمَنًا وَلَوْ كَانَ ذَا قُرْبَىٰ ۙ وَلَا نَكْتُمُ شَهَادَةَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا إِذًا لَّمِنَ الْآثِمِينَ﴾
[ المائدة: 106]
5:106 O you who have believed, testimony [should be taken] among you when death approaches one of you at the time of bequest - [that of] two just men from among you or two others from outside if you are traveling through the land and the disaster of death should strike you. Detain them after the prayer and let them both swear by Allah if you doubt [their testimony, saying], "We will not exchange our oath for a price, even if he should be a near relative, and we will not withhold the testimony of Allah. Indeed, we would then be of the sinful."
Tafsir Ibn Katheer in EnglishO you who faith in Allah, follow His Messenger and practise His laws, when death approaches any of you, with the appearance its signs, then call to witness the bequest two upright Muslim men, or two men from the disbelievers ( if the need arises due to there being no Muslims; for example, if you are travelling at that time ).
If there is any doubt regarding their testimony, keep them back after one of the prayers and let them both take an oath in Allah’s name saying, ‘We will not sell our share from Allah for any amount, such as by preferring a relative.
Also, we will not conceal any testimony for Allah that is with us’.
Tell them that if they are not truthful, they will be sinners who go against Allah.
Muhammad Taqiud-Din alHilali
O you who believe! When death approaches any of you, and you make a bequest, then take the testimony of two just men of your own folk or two others from outside, if you are travelling through the land and the calamity of death befalls you. Detain them both after As-Salat (the prayer), (then) if you are in doubt (about their truthfulness), let them both swear by Allah (saying): "We wish not for any worldly gain in this, even though he (the beneficiary) be our near relative. We shall not hide Testimony of Allah, for then indeed we should be of the sinful."

Abdullah Yusuf Ali - Translation
O ye who believe! When death approaches any of you, (take) witnesses among yourselves when making bequests,- two just men of your own (brotherhood) or others from outside if ye are journeying through the earth, and the chance of death befalls you (thus). If ye doubt (their truth), detain them both after prayer, and let them both swear by Allah: "We wish not in this for any worldly gain, even though the (beneficiary) be our near relation: we shall hide not the evidence before Allah: if we do, then behold! the sin be upon us!"
Safi-ur-Rahman al-Mubarakpuri
O you who believe! When death approaches any of you, and you make a bequest, then take the testimony of two just men of your own folk or two others from outside, if you are traveling through the land and the calamity of death befalls you. Detain them both after the Salah (the prayer), (then) if you are in doubt (about their truthfulness), let them both swear by Allah (saying): "We wish not for any worldly gain in this, even though he (the beneficiary) be our near relative. We shall not hide the testimony of Allah, for then indeed we should be of the sinful."

5:106 O you who have believed, testimony [should be taken] among you when translate in arabic
ياأيها الذين آمنوا شهادة بينكم إذا حضر أحدكم الموت حين الوصية اثنان ذوا عدل منكم أو آخران من غيركم إن أنتم ضربتم في الأرض فأصابتكم مصيبة الموت تحبسونهما من بعد الصلاة فيقسمان بالله إن ارتبتم لا نشتري به ثمنا ولو كان ذا قربى ولا نكتم شهادة الله إنا إذا لمن الآثمين
سورة: المائدة - آية: ( 106 ) - جزء: ( 7 ) - صفحة: ( 125 )Almuntakhab Fi Tafsir Alquran Alkarim
O you whose hearts reflect the image of religious and spiritual virtues: when any of you feels death impending and he wishes to make a bequest, then witness action is mandatory. Two of your just men known to recourse to justice are summoned to witness the action. And in the event of being on a journey when the calamity of death befalls you, then two other men are duly detained following the funerary prayer to establish the point in question. And if you should apprehend guilt or fault on their part, then they are asked to perform the act of worship and then be sworn, thus: We swear by Allah that we have no selfish motive principles nor do we favour anyone for a gain, even if he be within the first degree of consanguinity, nor will we hide or suppress testimony a divine duty, and be wrongful of actions
Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
(5:106) Believers! When death approaches you, let two men of equity among you act as witnesses when you make your bequest; *120 or let two of those from others than yourselves act as witnesses if you are on a journey when the affliction of death befalls you. *121 Then if any doubt occurs you shall detain both of them (in the mosque) after the Prayer, and they shall swear by Allah: 'We shall neither sell our testimony in return for any gain even though it concerns any near of kin nor shall we conceal our testimony which we owe to Allah, for then we should become among sinners.' .
O you who have believed, testimony [should be taken] among you when meaning
*120). That is, pious, straightforward and trustworthy Muslims.
*That is, non-Muslims - Ed.
*121). This shows that the testimony of non-Muslim witnesses in cases involving Muslims is appropriate only when no Muslim is available as a witness.
O you who have believed, testimony [should be taken] among you when meaning in Urdu
اے لوگو جو ایمان لائے ہو، جب تم میں سے کسی کی موت کا وقت آ جائے اور وہ وصیت کر رہا ہو تو اس کے لیے شہادت کا نصاب یہ ہے کہ تمہاری جماعت میں سے دو صاحب عدل آدمی گواہ بنائے جائیں، یا اگر تم سفر کی حالت میں ہو اور وہاں موت کی مصیبت پیش آ جائے تو غیر مسلموں ہی میں سے دو گواہ لے لیے جائں پھر اگر کوئی شک پڑ جائے تو نماز کے بعد دونوں گواہوں کو (مسجد میں) روک لیا جائے اور وہ خدا کی قسم کھا کر کہیں کہ "ہم کسی ذاتی فائدے کے عوض شہادت بیچنے والے نہیں ہیں، اور خواہ کوئی ہمارا رشتہ دار ہی کیوں نہ ہو (ہم اس کی رعایت کرنے والے نہیں) اور نہ خدا واسطے کی گواہی کو ہم چھپانے والے ہیں، اگر ہم نے یسا کیا تو گناہ گاروں میں شمار ہوں گے"
