Verse 53–55

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا O you who believe ٱلَّذِينَ O you who believe ءَامَنُوا۟ O you who believe لَا (Do) not تَدْخُلُوا۟ enter بُيُوتَ (the) houses ٱلنَّبِىِّ (of) the Prophet إِلَّآ except أَن when يُؤْذَنَ permission is given لَكُمْ to you إِلَىٰ for طَعَامٍ a meal غَيْرَ without نَـٰظِرِينَ awaiting إِنَىٰهُ its preparation وَلَـٰكِنْ But إِذَا when دُعِيتُمْ you are invited فَٱدْخُلُوا۟ then enter فَإِذَا and when طَعِمْتُمْ you have eaten فَٱنتَشِرُوا۟ then disperse وَلَا and not مُسْتَـْٔنِسِينَ seeking to remain لِحَدِيثٍ ۚ for a conversation إِنَّ Indeed ذَٰلِكُمْ that كَانَ was يُؤْذِى troubling ٱلنَّبِىَّ the Prophet فَيَسْتَحْىِۦ and he is shy مِنكُمْ ۖ of (dismissing) you وَٱللَّهُ But Allah لَا is not shy يَسْتَحْىِۦ is not shy مِنَ of ٱلْحَقِّ ۚ the truth وَإِذَا And when سَأَلْتُمُوهُنَّ you ask them مَتَـٰعًۭا (for) anything فَسْـَٔلُوهُنَّ then ask them مِن from وَرَآءِ behind حِجَابٍۢ ۚ a screen ذَٰلِكُمْ That أَطْهَرُ (is) purer لِقُلُوبِكُمْ for your hearts وَقُلُوبِهِنَّ ۚ and their hearts وَمَا And not كَانَ is لَكُمْ for you أَن that تُؤْذُوا۟ you trouble رَسُولَ (the) Messenger ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah وَلَآ and not أَن that تَنكِحُوٓا۟ you should marry أَزْوَٰجَهُۥ his wives مِنۢ after him بَعْدِهِۦٓ after him أَبَدًا ۚ ever إِنَّ Indeed ذَٰلِكُمْ that كَانَ is عِندَ near ٱللَّهِ Allah عَظِيمًا an enormity ٥٣

O you who have believed, do not enter the houses of the Prophet except when you are permitted for a meal, without awaiting its readiness. But when you are invited, then enter; and when you have eaten, disperse without seeking to remain for conversation. Indeed, that [behavior] was troubling the Prophet, and he is shy of [dismissing] you. But Allāh is not shy of the truth. And when you ask [his wives] for something, ask them from behind a partition. That is purer for your hearts and their hearts. And it is not [conceivable or lawful] for you to harm the Messenger of Allāh or to marry his wives after him, ever. Indeed, that would be in the sight of Allāh an enormity.

إِن Whether تُبْدُوا۟ you reveal شَيْـًٔا a thing أَوْ or تُخْفُوهُ conceal it فَإِنَّ indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah كَانَ is بِكُلِّ of all شَىْءٍ things عَلِيمًۭا All-Knower ٥٤

Whether you reveal a thing or conceal it, indeed Allāh is ever, of all things, Knowing.

لَّا (There is) no جُنَاحَ blame عَلَيْهِنَّ upon them فِىٓ concerning ءَابَآئِهِنَّ their fathers وَلَآ and not أَبْنَآئِهِنَّ their sons وَلَآ and not إِخْوَٰنِهِنَّ their brothers وَلَآ and not أَبْنَآءِ sons إِخْوَٰنِهِنَّ (of) their brothers وَلَآ and not أَبْنَآءِ sons أَخَوَٰتِهِنَّ (of) their sisters وَلَا and not نِسَآئِهِنَّ their women وَلَا and not مَا what مَلَكَتْ they rightfully possess أَيْمَـٰنُهُنَّ ۗ they rightfully possess وَٱتَّقِينَ And fear ٱللَّهَ ۚ Allah إِنَّ Indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah كَانَ is عَلَىٰ over كُلِّ all شَىْءٍۢ things شَهِيدًا a Witness ٥٥

There is no blame upon them [i.e., women] concerning their fathers or their sons or their brothers or their brothers' sons or their sisters' sons or their women or those their right hands possess [i.e., slaves]. And fear Allāh. Indeed Allāh is ever, over all things, Witness.
