Established Text
Under the heading “The Eighth Commandment,” Shahrur sets out the following text: “AND WHEN YOU SPEAK, BE JUST, EVEN IF IT CONCERNS A NEAR RELATIVE.”
What the Atom Says
Shahrur’s statement: He presents the commandment in a form that enjoins justice in speech, explicitly mentioning the case of a near relative.
Atlas explanation: Kinship does not justify departing from justice in speech. This is a normative atom limited by its wording; it should not be extended to truthfulness, whims, or testimony without additional evidence.
Limits of the Evidence
The raw-context field establishes the commandment’s title and text, but provides no detail regarding truthfulness, whims, or testimony. Therefore, those extensions should not be treated as Shahrur’s direct statement at this point.
