[Machine] "If he is called upon to witness, or if he is called upon to establish it, both of them are increased in him beyond that which is good. Indeed, all people would not be able to witness for one another if they were unwilling. A group of interpreters have concluded that this verse refers to giving testimony, and the verse is capable of supporting both interpretations, as Al-Hasan has also concluded. And he, in terms of burden, is an obligatory requirement for sufficiency. So when one fulfills it, and through writing, whoever is sufficient is brought out from those who have fallen behind. And Allah knows best."  

إِذَا دُعِيَ لِيَشْهَدَ وَإِذَا دُعِيَ لِيُقِيمَهَا كِلَاهُمَا زَادَ فِيهِ غَيْرُهُ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ فَإِنَّ النَّاسَ كُلَّهُمْ لَوْ أَبَوْا أَنْ يَشْهَدَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ لَمْ يَسَعْهُمْ ذَلِكَ وَقَدْ ذَهَبَ جَمَاعَةٌ مِنَ الْمُفَسِّرِينَ إِلَى أَنَّ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ فِي إِقَامَةِ الشَّهَادَةِ وَالْآيَةُ مُحْتَمِلَةٌ لِلْوَجْهَيْنِ جَمِيعًا كَمَا ذَهَبَ إِلَيْهِ الْحَسَنُ وَهُوَ فِي التَّحَمُّلِ فَرْضٌ عَلَى الْكِفَايَةِ فَإِذَا قَامَ بِهِ وَبِالْكِتَابَةِ مَنْ يَكْفِي أُخْرِجَ مَنْ تَخَلَّفَ مِنَ الْمَأْثَمِ وَاللهُ أَعْلَمُ
