     وَمَن يَكْسِبْ خَطِيئَةً أَوْ إِثْمًا ثُمَّ يَرْمِ بِهِ بَرِيئًا فَقَدِ ٱحْتَمَلَ بُهْتَانًا وَإِثْمًا مُّبِينًا

     waman yaksib ḵaṭīʔatan ʔaw ʔiṯman ṯumma yarmi bihi barīʔan faqadi ḥtamala buhtānan waʔiṯman mubīnan

     But whoever earns an offense or a sin and then blames it on an innocent has taken upon himself a slander and manifest sin.

   • 609–632 CE, Qur'an, 59:16:

     kamaṯali š-šayṭāni ʔiḏ qāla lilʔinsāni kfur falammā kafara qāla ʔinnī barīʔun minka ʔinnī ʔaḵāfu llāha rabba l-ʕālamīna
