4. Let no temptation allure thee, nor any provocation excite thee to lift up thy hand to the hazard of his life.
5. Defame him not in his character; bear no false witness against him.
6. Corrupt not his servant to cheat or forsake him; and the wife of his bosom, 0 tempt not to sin.
7. It will be a grief to his heart, which thou canst not relieve; an injury to his life, which no reparation can atone.
8. In thy dealings with men, be impartial and just; and do unto them as thou wouldst they should do unto thee.
9. Be faithful to thy trust, and deceive not the man who relieth upon thee; be assured, it is less evil in the sight of Allah to steal than to betray.
10. Oppress not the poor, and defraud not of his hire the laboring man.
11. When thou selleth for gain, hear the whispering of conscience, and be satisfied with moderation; nor from the ignorance of thy buyer take any advantage.
12. Pay the debts which thou oweth: for he who gave thee credit, relieth upon thine honor; and to withhold from him his due, is both mean and unjust.
13. Finally, 0 son of society, examine thy heart, call remembrance to thy aid; and if in any of these things thou hath transgressed, make a speedy reparation, to the utmost of thy power.
