مَا جَعَلَ اللّٰهُ لِرَجُلٍ مِنْ قَلْبَيْنِ ف۪ي جَوْفِه۪ۚ وَمَا جَعَلَ اَزْوَاجَكُمُ الّٰٓئ۪ تُظَاهِرُونَ مِنْهُنَّ اُمَّهَاتِكُمْۚ وَمَا جَعَلَ اَدْعِيَٓاءَكُمْ اَبْنَٓاءَكُمْۜ ذٰلِكُمْ قَوْلُكُمْ بِاَفْوَاهِكُمْۜ وَاللّٰهُ يَقُولُ الْحَقَّ وَهُوَ يَهْدِي السَّب۪يلَ

GOD did not give any man two hearts in his chest. Nor did He turn your wives whom you estrange (according to your custom) into your mothers. Nor did He turn your adopted children into genetic offspring. All these are mere utterances that you have invented. GOD speaks the truth, and He guides in the (right) path.

اُدْعُوهُمْ لِاٰبَٓائِهِمْ هُوَ اَقْسَطُ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِۚ فَاِنْ لَمْ تَعْلَمُٓوا اٰبَٓاءَهُمْ فَاِخْوَانُكُمْ فِي الدّ۪ينِ وَمَوَال۪يكُمْۜ وَلَيْسَ عَلَيْكُمْ جُنَاحٌ ف۪يمَٓا اَخْطَأْتُمْ بِه۪ۙ وَلٰكِنْ مَا تَعَمَّدَتْ قُلُوبُكُمْۜ وَكَانَ اللّٰهُ غَفُوراً رَح۪يماً

You shall give your adopted children names that preserve their relationship to their genetic parents. This is more equitable in the sight of GOD. If you do not know their parents, then, as your brethren in religion, you shall treat them as members of your family. You do not commit a sin if you make a mistake in this respect; you are responsible for your purposeful intentions. GOD is Forgiver, Most Merciful.

The prophet is closer to the believers than they are to each other, and his wives are like mothers to them. The relatives ought to take care of one another in accordance with GOD's scripture. Thus, the believers shall take care of their relatives who immigrate to them, provided they have taken care of their own families first. These are commandments of this scripture.

A group of them said, "O people of Yathrib, you cannot attain victory; go back." Others made up excuses to the prophet: "Our homes are vulnerable," when they were not vulnerable. They just wanted to flee.

Also, they are too stingy when dealing with you. If anything threatens the community, you see their eyes rolling with fear, as if death had already come to them. Once the crisis is over, they whip you with sharp tongues. They are too stingy with their wealth. These are not believers, and, consequently, GOD has nullified their works. This is easy for GOD to do.

Recall that you said to the one who was blessed by GOD, and blessed by you, "Keep your wife and reverence GOD," and you hid inside yourself what GOD wished to proclaim. Thus, you feared the people, when you were supposed to fear only GOD. When Zeid was completely through with his wife, we had you marry her, in order to establish the precedent that a man may marry the divorced wife of his adopted son. GOD's commands shall be done.

O prophet, we made lawful for you your wives to whom you have paid their due dowry, or what you already have, as granted to you by GOD. Also lawful for you in marriage are the daughters of your father's brothers, the daughters of your father's sisters, the daughters of your mother's brothers, the daughters of your mother's sisters, who have emigrated with you. Also, if a believing woman gave herself to the prophet - by forfeiting the dowry - the prophet may marry her without a dowry, if he so wishes. However, her forfeiting of the dowry applies only to the prophet, and not to the other believers. We have already decreed their rights in regard to their spouses or what they already have. This is to spare you any embarrassment. GOD is Forgiver, Most Merciful.

O you who believe, do not enter the prophet's homes unless you are given permission to eat, nor shall you force such an invitation in any manner. If you are invited, you may enter. When you finish eating, you shall leave; do not engage him in lengthy conversations. This used to hurt the prophet, and he was too shy to tell you. But GOD does not shy away from the truth. If you have to ask his wives for something, ask them from behind a barrier. This is purer for your hearts and their hearts. You are not to hurt the messenger of GOD. You shall not marry his wives after him, for this would be a gross offense in the sight of GOD.,
