17. 2. "Ouliyan" is the dual of "Oula," meaning the two closest relatives of the deceased, i.e., the one who made the will (the testator). "Min alladhina istuḥiqqa 'alayhim" means those against whom the sin was committed, i.e., by swearing a false oath, the wealth that was to be given to them was usurped. "Al-awliyan" is either the predicate of a hidden subject or is a substitute for the pronoun in "yaquman" or "akhiran."

[155] The central theme of this incident and these verses is that testimony should always be given accurately and truthfully, and this subject has appeared in numerous places in the Noble Quran. False, ambiguous, or manipulative testimony has been declared a major sin. This is also made clear by the following hadith.
False Testimony is a Major Sin:
Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddiq ؓ narrates that the Prophet ﷺ said to the Companions, "Shall I not inform you of the greatest of sins?" The Companions said, "O Messenger of Allah! Please do tell us." He said, "Associating partners with Allah and disobedience to parents." At that time, he was reclining, then he sat up straight and said, "Beware! False speech and false testimony. Beware! False speech and false testimony." He kept repeating these words. I thought he would not stop. [بخاري كتاب الادب۔ باب عقوق الوالدين من الكبائر ، مسلم۔ كتاب الايمان۔ باب بيان الكبائر و اكبرها]
