surah Baqarah aya 283 , English translation of the meaning Ayah.
﴿۞ وَإِن كُنتُمْ عَلَىٰ سَفَرٍ وَلَمْ تَجِدُوا كَاتِبًا فَرِهَانٌ مَّقْبُوضَةٌ ۖ فَإِنْ أَمِنَ بَعْضُكُم بَعْضًا فَلْيُؤَدِّ الَّذِي اؤْتُمِنَ أَمَانَتَهُ وَلْيَتَّقِ اللَّهَ رَبَّهُ ۗ وَلَا تَكْتُمُوا الشَّهَادَةَ ۚ وَمَن يَكْتُمْهَا فَإِنَّهُ آثِمٌ قَلْبُهُ ۗ وَاللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ عَلِيمٌ﴾
[ البقرة: 283]
2:283 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.
Tafsir Ibn Katheer in EnglishIf you are travelling and do not find anyone who can write down the debt for you, then the debtor can give a property to the creditor as a security for his right until the debt is paid.
If you trust one another, it is not necessary to write the debt down, call witnesses or give a promise.
In such cases, the debt will be the responsibility of the debtor, which he must fulfil and be mindful of Allah regarding it by not denying it later.
If he later denies it, then the person who was present at the time of the transaction must give evidence and may not hide it.
If anyone should hide evidence, it indicates that his heart is sinful.
Allah knows what you do, nothing is hidden from Him and He will reward you for your actions.
Muhammad Taqiud-Din alHilali
And if you are on a journey and cannot find a scribe, then let there be a pledge taken (mortgaging); then if one of you entrust the other, let the one who is entrusted discharge his trust (faithfully), and let him be afraid of Allah, his Lord. And conceal not the evidence for he, who hides it, surely his heart is sinful. And Allah is All-Knower of what you do.

Abdullah Yusuf Ali - Translation
If ye are on a journey, and cannot find a scribe, a pledge with possession (may serve the purpose). And if one of you deposits a thing on trust with another, Let the trustee (Faithfully) discharge His trust, and let him fear his Lord. Conceal not evidence; for whoever conceals it,- His heart is tainted with sin. And Allah Knoweth all that ye do.
Safi-ur-Rahman al-Mubarakpuri
And if you are on a journey and cannot find a scribe, then let there be a pledge taken (mortgaging), then if one of you entrusts the other, let the one who is entrusted discharge his trust, and let him have Taqwa of Allah, his Lord. And conceal not the evidence, for he who hides it, surely, his heart is sinful. And Allah is All-Knower of what you do.

2:283 And if you are on a journey and cannot find a scribe, translate in arabic
وإن كنتم على سفر ولم تجدوا كاتبا فرهان مقبوضة فإن أمن بعضكم بعضا فليؤد الذي اؤتمن أمانته وليتق الله ربه ولا تكتموا الشهادة ومن يكتمها فإنه آثم قلبه والله بما تعملون عليم
سورة: البقرة - آية: ( 283 ) - جزء: ( 3 ) - صفحة: ( 49 )Almuntakhab Fi Tafsir Alquran Alkarim
And if you are on a journey and cannot find a writer, then place a pledge in the creditor’s possession as a guarantee of good faith. And if the debtor considers the creditor a credible person then the creditor should prove himself trustworthy and return the pledge upon receiving the debt from the debtor, also expected to be trustworthy, and either of them should keep Allah in mind and revere Him. And do not conceal, destroy, suppress or refuse to provide evidence when summoned, and he who withholds testimony is indeed morally depraved with a soiled and sinful heart. And Allah is Alimun of all you do
Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
(2:283) If you are on a journey and cannot find a scribe to write the document, then transact your business on the security of a pledge in hand. *331 And, if any one transacts a piece of business with another merely on trust, then the one who is trusted should fulfil his trust and fear Allah, his Lord And never conceal evidence *332 for he who conceals it, has a sinful heart: Allah knows everything that you do.
And if you are on a journey and cannot find a scribe, meaning
*331). This does not mean that pledge transactions are confined to journeys alone. These transactions have been specially mentioned in the context of journeys because during journeys people often have to resort to pledge transactions. Moreover, it has not been laid down that pledge transactions may be entered into only when a scribe is not available to write down the transaction. It is also permissible, if the lender is not satisfied merely with the written promise of the repayment of the loan, for the borrower to seek a loan by pledging some property to the lender. But since the Qur'an urges its followers to be generous in their dealings, and since it is inconsistent with high standards of moral excellence not to make loans to needy persons without keeping some property in custody, the Qur'an has abstained from mentioning this form of dealing even though it is permissible.
It should also be noted that the purpose of taking a pledge is merely to assure the lender the return of his loan. He has no right at all to benefit from the pledged property. If a person lives, say, either in the building which has been pledged, or pockets its rent, he is guilty of taking interest. There is no essential difference between charging interest directly and using the pledged property. If, however, either cattle or beasts of burden have been pledged, they can be milked and used for transport in lieu of the fodder that one provides them during the period of custody.
*332). Concealing true evidence applies both to a person not appearing to give evidence and to his avoidance of stating facts.
And if you are on a journey and cannot find a scribe, meaning in Urdu
اگر تم سفر کی حالت میں ہو اور دستاویز لکھنے کے لیے کوئی کاتب نہ ملے، تو رہن بالقبض پر معاملہ کرو اگر تم میں سے کوئی شخص دوسرے پر بھروسہ کر کے اس کے ساتھ کوئی معاملہ کرے، تو جس پر بھروسہ کیا گیا ہے، اسے چاہیے کہ امانت ادا کرے اور اللہ، اپنے رب سے ڈرے اور شہادت ہرگز نہ چھپاؤ جو شہادت چھپاتا ہے، اس کا دل گناہ میں آلودہ ہے اور اللہ تمہارے اعمال سے بے خبر نہیں ہے
