حَذَرَ الْجَوْرِ وَالتَّعَدِّي وَهَلْ يَنْقُضُ مَا فِي الْمَهَارِقِ الْأَهْوَاءُ
Meaning: The covenant was made to guard against injustice and aggression; can personal wishes undo what has been written in the documents?
Ḥadhara al-jawri wa-l-taʿaddī gives the purpose: prevention of injustice and overstepping. Al-mahāriq are written sheets or documents, and al-ahwāʾ are whims or partisan desires.
The question hal yanquḍu ... al-ahwāʾ is rhetorical: private wishes should not simply annul a solemn agreement. The contrast between recorded obligations and changeable desires is the ethical climax of this section.
