Trustworthiness (amanah) is presented here as a quality of the messengers and of Gabriel, and the verses command returning trusts to those entitled to them without ever betraying them. They praise those who safeguard trusts, warn against relying on someone suspected of neglecting them, and recall that the universe shrank from the trust that man took upon himself.
Verses gathered from a topical index of the Quran, in Mushaf order; every verse is quoted in full.
And among the People of the Scripture is he who, if you entrust him with a great amount [of wealth], he will return it to you. And among them is he who, if you entrust him with a [single] coin, he will not return it to you unless you are constantly standing over him [demanding it]. That is because they say, "There is no blame upon us concerning the unlearned." And they speak untruth about Allāh while they know [it].
