مَّا Not جَعَلَ Allah (has) made ٱللَّهُ Allah (has) made لِرَجُلٍۢ for any man مِّن [of] قَلْبَيْنِ two hearts فِى in جَوْفِهِۦ ۚ his interior وَمَا And not جَعَلَ He (has) made أَزْوَٰجَكُمُ your wives ٱلَّـٰٓـِٔى whom تُظَـٰهِرُونَ you declare unlawful مِنْهُنَّ [of them] أُمَّهَـٰتِكُمْ ۚ (as) your mothers وَمَا And not جَعَلَ He has made أَدْعِيَآءَكُمْ your adopted sons أَبْنَآءَكُمْ ۚ your sons ذَٰلِكُمْ That قَوْلُكُم (is) your saying بِأَفْوَٰهِكُمْ ۖ by your mouths وَٱللَّهُ but Allah يَقُولُ says ٱلْحَقَّ the truth وَهُوَ and He يَهْدِى guides ٱلسَّبِيلَ (to) the Way ٤

Allāh has not made for a man two hearts in his interior. And He has not made your wives whom you declare unlawful your mothers. And He has not made your claimed [i.e., adopted] sons your [true] sons. That is [merely] your saying by your mouths, but Allāh says the truth, and He guides to the [right] way.

ٱدْعُوهُمْ Call them لِـَٔابَآئِهِمْ by their fathers هُوَ it أَقْسَطُ (is) more just عِندَ near ٱللَّهِ ۚ Allah فَإِن But if لَّمْ not تَعْلَمُوٓا۟ you know ءَابَآءَهُمْ their fathers فَإِخْوَٰنُكُمْ then (they are) your brothers فِى in ٱلدِّينِ [the] religion وَمَوَٰلِيكُمْ ۚ and your friends وَلَيْسَ But not is عَلَيْكُمْ upon you جُنَاحٌۭ any blame فِيمَآ in what أَخْطَأْتُم you made a mistake بِهِۦ in it وَلَـٰكِن but مَّا what تَعَمَّدَتْ intended قُلُوبُكُمْ ۚ your hearts وَكَانَ And Allah ٱللَّهُ And Allah غَفُورًۭا (is) Oft-Forgiving رَّحِيمًا Most Merciful ٥

Call them by [the names of] their fathers; it is more just in the sight of Allāh. But if you do not know their fathers - then they are [still] your brothers in religion and those entrusted to you. And there is no blame upon you for that in which you have erred but [only for] what your hearts intended. And ever is Allāh Forgiving and Merciful.

ٱلنَّبِىُّ The Prophet أَوْلَىٰ (is) closer بِٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ to the believers مِنْ than أَنفُسِهِمْ ۖ their own selves وَأَزْوَٰجُهُۥٓ and his wives أُمَّهَـٰتُهُمْ ۗ (are) their mothers وَأُو۟لُوا۟ And possessors ٱلْأَرْحَامِ (of) relationships بَعْضُهُمْ some of them أَوْلَىٰ (are) closer بِبَعْضٍۢ to another فِى in كِتَـٰبِ (the) Decree ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah مِنَ than ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ the believers وَٱلْمُهَـٰجِرِينَ and the emigrants إِلَّآ except أَن that تَفْعَلُوٓا۟ you do إِلَىٰٓ to أَوْلِيَآئِكُم your friends مَّعْرُوفًۭا ۚ a kindness كَانَ That is ذَٰلِكَ That is فِى in ٱلْكِتَـٰبِ the Book مَسْطُورًۭا written ٦

The Prophet is more worthy of the believers than themselves, and his wives are [in the position of] their mothers. And those of [blood] relationship are more entitled [to inheritance] in the decree of Allāh than the [other] believers and the emigrants, except that you may do to your close associates a kindness [through bequest]. That was in the Book inscribed.
