لا جناح عليهن في آبائهن ولا أبنائهن ولا إخوانهن ولا أبناء إخوانهن ولا أبناء أخواتهن ولا نسائهن ولا ما ملكت أيمانهن واتقين الله إن الله كان على كل شيء شهيدا
55There is no sin on them [in socializing freely] with their fathers, or their sons, or their brothers, or their brothers’ sons, or the sons of their sisters, or their own womenfolk, or what their right hands own. Be wary of Allah. Indeed Allah is witness to all things.
lā junāḥa ʿalayhinna fī ʾābāʾihinna wa-lā ʾabnāʾihinna wa-lā ʾikhwānihinna wa-lā ʾabnāʾi ʾikhwānihinna wa-lā ʾabnāʾi ʾakhawātihinna wa-lā nisāʾihinna wa-lā mā malakat ʾaymānuhunna wa-ttaqīna llāha ʾinna llāha kāna ʿalā kulli shayʾin shahīdan
إن الله وملائكته يصلون على النبي يا أيها الذين آمنوا صلوا عليه وسلموا تسليما
56Indeed Allah and His angels bless the Prophet; O you who have faith! Invoke blessings on him and invoke Peace upon him in a worthy manner.
ʾinna llāha wa-malāʾikatahū yuṣallūna ʿalā n-nabiyyi yā-ʾayyuhā lladhīna ʾāmanū ṣallū ʿalayhi wa-sallimū taslīman
إن الذين يؤذون الله ورسوله لعنهم الله في الدنيا والآخرة وأعد لهم عذابا مهينا
57Indeed those who offend Allah and His Apostle are cursed by Allah in the world and the Hereafter, and He has prepared a humiliating punishment for them.
ʾinna lladhīna yuʾdhūna llāha wa-rasūlahū laʿanahumu llāhu fī d-dunyā wa-l-ʾākhirati wa-ʾaʿadda lahum ʿadhāban muhīnan
والذين يؤذون المؤمنين والمؤمنات بغير ما اكتسبوا فقد احتملوا بهتانا وإثما مبينا
58Those who offend faithful men and women undeservedly, certainly bear the guilt of slander and flagrant sin.
wa-lladhīna yuʾdhūna l-muʾminīna wa-l-muʾmināti bi-ghayri mā ktasabū fa-qadi ḥtamalū buhtānan wa-ʾithman mubīnan
يا أيها النبي قل لأزواجك وبناتك ونساء المؤمنين يدنين عليهن من جلابيبهن ذلك أدنى أن يعرفن فلا يؤذين وكان الله غفورا رحيما
59O Prophet! Tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the faithful to draw closely over themselves their chadors [when going out]. That makes it likely for them to be recognized and not be troubled, and Allah is all-forgiving, all-merciful.
yā-ʾayyuhā n-nabiyyu qul li-ʾazwājika wa-banātika wa-nisāʾi l-muʾminīna yudnīna ʿalayhinna min jalābībihinna dhālika ʾadnā ʾan yuʿrafna fa-lā yuʾdhayna wa-kāna llāhu ghafūran raḥīman
لئن لم ينته المنافقون والذين في قلوبهم مرض والمرجفون في المدينة لنغرينك بهم ثم لا يجاورونك فيها إلا قليلا
60If the hypocrites and those in whose hearts is a sickness, and the rumourmongers in the city do not desist, We will prompt you [to take action] against them; then they will not be your neighbours in it except briefly.
la-ʾin lam yantahi l-munāfiqūna wa-lladhīna fī qulūbihim maraḍun wa-l-murjifūna fī l-madīnati la-nughriyannaka bihim thumma lā yujāwirūnaka fīhā ʾillā qalīlan
ملعونين أينما ثقفوا أخذوا وقتلوا تقتيلا
61Accursed, they will be seized wherever they are confronted and slain violently:
malʿūnīna ʾaynamā thuqifū ʾukhidhū wa-quttilū taqtīlan
سنة الله في الذين خلوا من قبل ولن تجد لسنة الله تبديلا
62Allah’s precedent with those who passed away before, and you will never find any change in Allah’s precedent.
