Allah?" Then he got up and addressed the
people, saying, "O people! The nations before
you went astray because if a noble person

if Fatima, the daughter of Muhammad committed

his witness well be accepted. Similarly, if any
person upon whom any legal punishment has been
inflicted, repents, his witness will be
accepted."
