Section 4
28. Ya ayyuha aLnnabiyyu qul li-azwajika in kuntunna turidna alhayata aLddunya wazeenataha fataAAalayna omattiAAkunna waosarrihkunna sarahan jameelaN
28. O Prophet! say
To thy Consorts:
"If it be that ye desire
The life of this world,
And its glitter,--then come!
I will provide for your
Enjoyment and set you free
In a handsome manner.
29. Wa-in kuntunna turidna Allaha warasoolahu waALddara al-akhirata fa-inna Allaha aAAadda lilmuhsinati minkunna ajran AAa"th"eemaN
29. But if ye seek God
And His Apostle, and
The Home of the Hereafter,
Verily God has prepared
For the well-doers amongst you
A great reward.
30. Ya nisaa aLnnabiyyi man ya/ti minkunna bifahishatin mubayyinatin yudaAAaf laha alAAathabu diAAfayni wakana thalika AAala Allahi yaseeraN
30. O Consorts of the Prophet
If any of you were guilty
Of evident unseemly conduct,
The Punishment would be
Doubled to her, and that
Is easy for God
31. Waman yaqnut minkunna lillahi warasoolihi wataAAmal salihan nu/tiha ajraha marratayni waaAAtadna laha rizqan kareemaN
31. But any of you that is
Devout in the service of
God and His Apostle,
And works righteousness,--
To her shall We grant
Her reward twice: and We
Have prepared for her
A generous Sustenance.
32. Ya nisaa aLnnabiyyi lastunna kaahadin mina aLnnisa-i ini ittaqaytunna fala takhdaAAna biAlqawli fayatmaAAa allathee fee qalbihi maradun waqulna qawlan maAAroofaN
32. O Consorts of the Prophet!
Ye are not like any
Of the (other) women:
If ye do fear (God),
Be not too complaisant
Of speech, lest one
In whose heart is
A disease should be moved
With desire: but speak ye
A speech (that is) just.
33. Waqarna fee buyootikunna wala tabarrajna tabarruja aljahiliyyati al-oola waaqimna aLssalata waateena aLzzakata waatiAAna Allaha warasoolahu innama yureedu Allahu liyuthhiba AAankumu aLrrijsa ahla albayti wayutahhirakum tatheeraN
33. And stay quietly in
Your houses, and make not
A dazzling display, like
That of the former Times
Of Ignorance; and establish
Regular Prayer, and give
Regular Charity; and obey
God and His Apostle.
And God only wishes
To remove all abomination
From you, ye Members
Of the Family, and to make
You pure and spotless.
34. WaOthkurna ma yutla fee buyootikunna min ayati Allahi waAlhikmati inna Allaha kana lateefan khabeeraN
34. And recite what is
Rehearsed to you in your
Homes, of the Signs of God
And His Wisdom:
For God understands
The finest mysteries and
Is well-acquainted (with them).
