The Prohibition
﷽
التحريم
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا O yāayyuhā Prophet l-nabiyu Why (do) lima you prohibit tuḥarrimu what mā has made lawful aḥalla Allah l-lahu for you laka seeking tabtaghī (to) please marḍāta your wives azwājika And Allah wal-lahu (is) Oft-Forgiving ghafūrun Most Merciful raḥīmun
O Prophet, why do you prohibit [yourself from] what Allāh has made lawful for you, seeking the approval of your wives? And Allāh is Forgiving and Merciful.
قَدْ Indeed qad has ordained faraḍa Allah l-lahu for you lakum (the) dissolution taḥillata (of) your oaths aymānikum And Allah wal-lahu (is) your Protector mawlākum and He wahuwa (is) the All-Knower l-ʿalīmu the All-Wise l-ḥakīmu
Allāh has already ordained for you [Muslims] the dissolution of your oaths.1 And Allāh is your protector, and He is the Knowing, the Wise.
وَإِذْ And when wa-idh confided asarra the Prophet l-nabiyu to ilā one baʿḍi (of) his wives azwājihi a statement ḥadīthan and when falammā she informed nabba-at about it bihi and made it apparent wa-aẓharahu Allah l-lahu to him ʿalayhi he made known ʿarrafa a part of it baʿḍahu and avoided wa-aʿraḍa [of] ʿan a part baʿḍin Then when falammā he informed her nabba-ahā about it bihi she said qālat Who man informed you anba-aka this hādhā He said qāla Has informed me nabba-aniya the All-Knower l-ʿalīmu the All-Aware l-khabīru
And [remember] when the Prophet confided to one of his wives a statement; and when she informed [another] of it and Allāh showed it to him, he made known part of it and ignored a part. And when he informed her about it, she said, "Who told you this?" He said, "I was informed by the Knowing, the Aware."
إِن If in you both turn tatūbā to ilā Allah l-lahi so indeed faqad (are) inclined ṣaghat your hearts qulūbukumā but if wa-in you backup each other taẓāharā against him ʿalayhi then indeed fa-inna Allah l-laha He huwa (is) his Protector mawlāhu and Jibreel wajib'rīlu and (the) righteous waṣāliḥu believers l-mu'minīna and the Angels wal-malāikatu after baʿda that dhālika (are his) assistants ẓahīrun
If you two [wives] repent to Allāh, [it is best], for your hearts have deviated. But if you cooperate against him - then indeed Allāh is his protector, and Gabriel and the righteous of the believers and the angels, moreover, are [his] assistants.
عَسَىٰ Perhaps ʿasā his Lord rabbuhu if in he divorced you ṭallaqakunna [that] an He will substitute for him yub'dilahu wives azwājan better khayran than you minkunna submissive mus'limātin faithful mu'minātin obedient qānitātin repentant tāibātin who worship ʿābidātin who fast sāiḥātin previously married thayyibātin and virgins wa-abkāran
Perhaps his Lord, if he divorced you [all], would substitute for him wives better than you - submitting [to Allāh], believing, devoutly obedient, repentant, worshipping, and traveling1 - [ones] previously married and virgins.
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا O yāayyuhā (you) who alladhīna believe āmanū Protect qū yourselves anfusakum and your families wa-ahlīkum (from) a Fire nāran whose fuel waqūduhā (is) people l-nāsu and stones wal-ḥijāratu over it ʿalayhā (are) Angels malāikatun stern ghilāẓun severe shidādun not lā they disobey yaʿṣūna Allah l-laha (in) what mā He Commands them amarahum but they do wayafʿalūna what mā they are commanded yu'marūna
O you who have believed, protect yourselves and your families from a Fire whose fuel is people and stones, over which are [appointed] angels, harsh and severe; they do not disobey Allāh in what He commands them but do what they are commanded.
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا O yāayyuhā (you) who alladhīna disbelieve kafarū (Do) not lā make excuses taʿtadhirū today l-yawma Only innamā you will be recompensed tuj'zawna (for) what mā you used to kuntum do taʿmalūna
O you who have disbelieved, make no excuses that Day. You will only be recompensed for what you used to do.
