The ground (of complaint) is against such as claim exemption while they are rich. They prefer to stay with the (women) who remain behind: Allah hath sealed their hearts; so they know not (What they miss).
The blame is only against those who oppress men and wrong-doing and insolently transgress beyond bounds through the land, defying right and justice: for such there will be a penalty grievous.
家资富足,而向你请假的人们,才是该受非难的;他们愿与妇女们在一起,真主封闭了他们的心,故他们不知道。
应受责备的,是欺侮他人,并且在地方上蛮横无理者;这些人将受痛苦的刑罚。
