۞ تُرْجِى You may defer مَن whom تَشَآءُ you will مِنْهُنَّ of them وَتُـْٔوِىٓ or you may take إِلَيْكَ to yourself مَن whom تَشَآءُ ۖ you will وَمَنِ And whoever ٱبْتَغَيْتَ you desire مِمَّنْ of those whom عَزَلْتَ you (had) set aside فَلَا then (there is) no جُنَاحَ blame عَلَيْكَ ۚ upon you ذَٰلِكَ That أَدْنَىٰٓ (is) more suitable أَن that تَقَرَّ may be cooled أَعْيُنُهُنَّ their eyes وَلَا and not يَحْزَنَّ they grieve وَيَرْضَيْنَ and they may be pleased بِمَآ with what ءَاتَيْتَهُنَّ you have given them كُلُّهُنَّ ۚ all of them وَٱللَّهُ And Allah يَعْلَمُ knows مَا what فِى (is) in قُلُوبِكُمْ ۚ your hearts وَكَانَ And Allah is ٱللَّهُ And Allah is عَلِيمًا All-Knower حَلِيمًۭا Most Forbearing ٥١

You, [O Muḥammad], may put aside whom you will of them or take to yourself whom you will. And any that you desire of those [wives] from whom you had [temporarily] separated - there is no blame upon you [in returning her]. That is more suitable that they should be content and not grieve and that they should be satisfied with what you have given them - all of them. And Allāh knows what is in your hearts. And ever is Allāh Knowing and Forbearing.

لَّا (It is) not يَحِلُّ lawful لَكَ for you ٱلنِّسَآءُ (to marry) women مِنۢ after (this) بَعْدُ after (this) وَلَآ and not أَن to تَبَدَّلَ exchange بِهِنَّ them مِنْ for أَزْوَٰجٍۢ (other) wives وَلَوْ even if أَعْجَبَكَ pleases you حُسْنُهُنَّ their beauty إِلَّا except مَا whom مَلَكَتْ you rightfully possess يَمِينُكَ ۗ you rightfully possess وَكَانَ And Allah is ٱللَّهُ And Allah is عَلَىٰ over كُلِّ all شَىْءٍۢ things رَّقِيبًۭا an Observer ٥٢

Not lawful to you, [O Muḥammad], are [any additional] women after [this], nor [is it] for you to exchange them for [other] wives, even if their beauty were to please you, except what your right hand possesses. And ever is Allāh, over all things, an Observer.

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.
