  • The Law makes a plan for repelling evil: it puts the demon into the bottle of (legal) proof—
  • Witness and oath and shrinking (from the oath)—till (at last) the insolent demon goes into the bottle (prison).
  • (The Law is) like the balance whereby the two adversaries are surely united in contentment, (whether) in jest or earnest.
  • Know for sure that the Law is like the measure and scales by means of which the litigants are saved from wrangling and enmity.
  • If there be no pair of scales, how shall the litigant escape from disputing when he suspects fraud and deceit? 1215
  • (If), then, there is all this jealousy and litigation and injustice in respect of this foul faithless carcase,
  • How, then, must it be when genies and men become envious in respect of that fortune and felicity (hereafter)?
  • Truly those devils are envious of old: never for a moment do they cease from waylaying;
  • And the sons of Adam who have sown (the seed of) disobedience—they too have become devils from enviousness.
  • Read in the Qur’án how by Divine transformation the devils of mankind have become homogeneous with the Devil. 1220
