لَّوْلَا جَآءُو عَلَيْهِ بِأَرْبَعَةِ شُهَدَآءَ ۚ فَإِذْ لَمْ يَأْتُوا۟ بِٱلشُّهَدَآءِ فَأُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ هُمُ ٱلْكَـٰذِبُونَ

 - Mohammad Asad
Why did they not produce four witnesses? If they cannot produce the required witnesses, they are the liars in the sight of Allah.
 - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Why did they not produce four witnesses? Now, since they have failed to produce witnesses, they are 'truly' liars in the sight of Allah.
 - Mustafa Khattab
Why did they not produce four witnesses? Since they produce not witnesses, they verily are liars in the sight of Allah.
 - Marmaduke Pickthall
Why did they not bring four witnesses to prove it? When they have not brought the witnesses such men in the sight of Allah (stand forth) themselves as liars! 2966
