The Fifth Oath
وَٱلۡخَٰمِسَةُ أَنَّ لَعۡنَتَ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيۡهِ إِن كَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡكَٰذِبِينَ ٧
And yet a fifth, invoking the curse of Allah on him if he is of those who lie.
Translation: Marmaduke Pickthall
Meaning
And the fifth, that the curse of Allah be upon him if he is a liar.
Insight
According to Elmalılı, this is a grave imprecation that reinforces the oath.
Reflect
Beware utterly of false oaths.
