- O Prophet! Why bannest thou that which Allah hath made lawful
for thee, seeking to please thy wives ? And Allah is Forgiving,
Merciful.
- Allah hath made lawful for you (Muslims) absolution from your
oaths (of such a kind), and Allah is your Protector. He is the Knower,
the Wise.
- When the Prophet confided a fact unto one of his wives and
when she afterward divulged it and Allah apprised him thereof, he made
known (to her) part thereof and passed over part. And when he told it
her she said: Who hath told thee ? He said: The Knower, the Aware hath
told me.
- If ye twain turn unto Allah repentant, (ye have cause to do
so) for your hearts desired (the ban); and if ye aid one another
against him (Muhammad) then lo! Allah, even He, is his Protecting
Friend, and Gabriel and the righteous among the believers; and
furthermore the angels are his helpers.
- It may happen that his Lord, if he divorce you, will give him
in your stead wives better than you, submissive (to Allah), believing,
pious, penitent, devout, inclined to fasting, widows and maids.
- O ye who believe! Ward off from yourselves and your families a
Fire whereof the fuel is men and stones, over which are set angels
strong, severe, who resist not Allah in that which He commandeth them,
but do that which they are commanded.
- (Then it will be said): O ye who disbelieve! Make no excuses
for yourselves this day. Ye are only being paid for what ye used to
do.
- O ye who believe! Turn unto Allah in sincere repentance! It
may be that your Lord will remit from you your evil deeds and bring
you into Gardens underneath which rivers flow, on the day when Allah
will not abase the Prophet and those who believe with him. Their light
will run before them and on their right hands; they will say: Our
Lord! Perfect our light for us, and forgive us! Lo! Thou art Able to
do all things.
- O Prophet! Strive against the disbelievers and the hypocrites,
and be stern with them. Hell will be their home, a hapless journey's
end.
- Allah citeth an example for those who disbelieve: the wife of
Noah and the wife of Lot, who were under two of Our righteous slaves
yet betrayed them so that they (the husbands) availed them naught
against Allah and it was said (unto them): Enter the Fire along with
those who enter.
- And Allah citeth an example for those who believe: the wife of
Pharaoh when she said: My Lord! Build for me a home with thee in the
Garden, and deliver me from Pharaoh and his work, and deliver me from
evil-doing folk;
- And Mary, daughter of 'Imran, whose body was chaste, therefor
We breathed therein something of Our Spirit. And she put faith in the
words of her Lord and His scriptures, and was of the obedient.
