وَإِذْ And when أَسَرَّ confided ٱلنَّبِىُّ the Prophet إِلَىٰ to بَعْضِ one أَزْوَٰجِهِۦ (of) his wives حَدِيثًۭا a statement فَلَمَّا and when نَبَّأَتْ she informed بِهِۦ about it وَأَظْهَرَهُ and made it apparent ٱللَّهُ Allah عَلَيْهِ to him عَرَّفَ he made known بَعْضَهُۥ a part of it وَأَعْرَضَ and avoided عَنۢ [of] بَعْضٍۢ ۖ a part فَلَمَّا Then when نَبَّأَهَا he informed her بِهِۦ about it قَالَتْ she said مَنْ Who أَنۢبَأَكَ informed you هَـٰذَا ۖ this قَالَ He said نَبَّأَنِىَ Has informed me ٱلْعَلِيمُ the All-Knower ٱلْخَبِيرُ the All-Aware ٣

And [remember] when the Prophet confided to one of his wives a statement; and when she informed [another] of it and Allāh showed it to him, he made known part of it and ignored a part. And when he informed her about it, she said, "Who told you this?" He said, "I was informed by the Knowing, the Aware."

إِن If تَتُوبَآ you both turn إِلَى to ٱللَّهِ Allah فَقَدْ so indeed صَغَتْ (are) inclined قُلُوبُكُمَا ۖ your hearts وَإِن but if تَظَـٰهَرَا you backup each other عَلَيْهِ against him فَإِنَّ then indeed ٱللَّهَ Allah هُوَ He مَوْلَىٰهُ (is) his Protector وَجِبْرِيلُ and Jibreel وَصَـٰلِحُ and (the) righteous ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ۖ believers وَٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ and the Angels بَعْدَ after ذَٰلِكَ that ظَهِيرٌ (are his) assistants ٤

If you two [wives] repent to Allāh, [it is best], for your hearts have deviated. But if you cooperate against him - then indeed Allāh is his protector, and Gabriel and the righteous of the believers and the angels, moreover, are [his] assistants.
