وَلَا And (do) not walā take tattakhidhū your oaths aymānakum (as) a deception dakhalan between you baynakum lest, should slip fatazilla a foot qadamun after baʿda it is firmly planted thubūtihā and you would taste watadhūqū the evil l-sūa for what bimā you hindered ṣadadttum from ʿan (the) way sabīli (of) Allah l-lahi and for you walakum (is) a punishment ʿadhābun great ʿaẓīmun
And do not take your oaths as [means of] deceit between you, lest a foot slip after it was [once] firm, and you would taste evil [in this world] for what [people] you diverted from the way of Allāh,1 and you would have [in the Hereafter] a great punishment.
