فَإِن But if لَّمْ not تَجِدُوا۟ you find فِيهَآ in it أَحَدًۭا anyone فَلَا then (do) not تَدْخُلُوهَا enter it حَتَّىٰ until يُؤْذَنَ permission has been given لَكُمْ ۖ to you وَإِن And if قِيلَ it is said لَكُمُ to you ٱرْجِعُوا۟ Go back فَٱرْجِعُوا۟ ۖ then go back هُوَ it أَزْكَىٰ (is) purer لَكُمْ ۚ for you وَٱللَّهُ And Allah بِمَا of what تَعْمَلُونَ you do عَلِيمٌۭ (is) All-Knower ٢٨

And if you do not find anyone therein, do not enter them until permission has been given you. And if it is said to you, "Go back," then go back; it is purer for you. And Allāh is Knowing of what you do.
