1
A chapter which We have sent down and imposed, and We have sent down in it clear revelations that you may remember.
2
The adulteress and the adulterer, you shall lash each of them one hundred lashes, and do not let any pity take you over God's system if you acknowledge God and the Last Day. Let a group of the acknowledgers witness their punishment.
3
The adulterer will only marry an adulteress or one who is an idolatress. The adulteress, she will only be married to an adulterer or an idolater. This has been forbidden for the acknowledgers.
4
Those who accuse the independent women and they do not bring forth four witnesses, then you shall lash them eighty lashes and do not ever accept their testimony. Those indeed are the evildoers;
5
Except those who repent after this and do right, then God is Forgiving, Compassionate.
6
Those who accuse their wives, but they have no witnesses except for themselves, then the testimony of one of them is to be equivalent to that of four witnesses if he is swearing by God that he is being truthful.
7
The fifth shall be God's curse upon him if he is one of those lying.
8
The punishment will be averted from her if she testifies four times by God that he is of the liars.
9
The fifth shall be that God's curse is upon her if he is speaking the truth.
10
All this is from God's favor upon you and His mercy. God is Forgiving, Wise.
11
Those who have brought forth the false accusation were a group from within you. Do not think it is bad for you, for it is good for you. Every person amongst them will have what he deserves of the sin. As for he who had the greatest portion of it, he will have a great retribution.
12
If only when you heard it the acknowledging men and women should have thought good of themselves and said: This is an obvious lie!
13
If only they had brought four witnesses to it. If they did not have the witnesses, then these with God are the liars.
14
Had it not been for God's favor upon you and His mercy upon you in this world and the Hereafter, a great retribution would have touched you for what you have spoken.
15
For you have cast it with your tongues, and you say with your mouths what you have no knowledge of, and you think it is a minor issue, while with God it was great.
16
When you heard it you should have said: It was not right for us to speak of this. Glory to You, this is a great lie.
17
God warns you not to repeat something similar to this ever, if you are acknowledgers.
18
God clarifies for you the revelations; and God is Knower, Wise.
19
As for those who enjoy that immorality spreads amongst those who have acknowledged, they will have a painful retribution in the world and the Hereafter. God knows while you do not know.
20
All this is from God's favor upon you and His mercy. God is Kind, Compassionate.
21
O you who acknowledge, do not follow the footsteps of the devil. Whosoever follows the footsteps of the devil should know that he advocates immorality and evil. Had it not been for God's favor upon you and His mercy, not one of you would have ever been purified, but God purifies whom He wishes, and God is Hearer, Knower.
22
Let not those amongst you who have been blessed with abundance refuse to give to the relatives, the needy, and those who have immigrated in the cause of God. Let them pardon and forgive. Would you not like God to forgive you? God is Forgiving, Compassionate.
23
Those who accuse the independent, inattentive acknowledging women, they will be cursed in this world and the Hereafter, and they will have a painful retribution.
24
On the day when their tongues, and their hands, and their feet will bear witness against them for what they used to do.
25
On that day, God will pay them what they are owed in full, and they will know that God is the Truth Manifested.
26
The wicked women are for the wicked men, and the wicked men are for the wicked women, and the good women are for the good men, and the good men are for the good women. These people are innocent from what statements have been made, and for them is forgiveness and a generous provision.
27
O you who acknowledge, do not enter any homes except your own unless you are invited and you greet the people in them. This is best for you, perhaps you will remember.
28
But, if you do not find anyone in them then do not enter until you are given permission. If you are told to go back, then return for it is purer for you. God is aware of what you do.
29
There is no sin upon you that you enter homes which are abandoned if in them there are belongings of yours. God knows what you reveal and what you conceal.
30
Tell the acknowledging men to lower their gaze and guard their private parts, for that is purer for them. God is fully aware of what you do.
