(Take) eight (head of cattle) in (four) pairs: of sheep a pair, and of goats a pair; say, hath He forbidden the two males, or the two females, or (the young) which the wombs of the two females enclose? Tell me with knowledge if ye are truthful:
It is not lawful for thee (to marry more) women after this, nor to change them for (other) wives, even though their beauty attract thee, except any thy right hand should possess (as handmaidens): and Allah doth watch over all things.
He created you (all) from a single person: then created, of like nature, his mate; and he sent down for you eight head of cattle in pairs: He makes you, in the wombs of your mothers, in stages, one after another, in three veils of darkness. such is Allah, your Lord and Cherisher: to Him belongs (all) dominion. There is no god but He: then how are ye turned away (from your true Centre)?
(他创造了)八只牲畜:两只绵羊.两只山羊,你说:“真主只以两只公的为禁物呢?还是只以两只母的为禁物呢?还是只以两只母的所孕育的为禁物呢?你们依真知灼见而告诉我吧,如果你们是诚实的人!”
以后不准你再娶妇女,也不准你以她们换掉别的妻子,即使你羡慕她们的美貌,除非是你的奴婢。真主是监视万物的。
他从一个人创造你们,然后以他的同类为他的配偶。他为你们而降赐八只牲畜。他将你们造化在你们的母腹中,在三重黑暗中,一再造化你们。那是真主--你们的主,国权只是他的;除他外,绝无应受崇拜的。你们怎么悖谬呢?
