There is no blame on you if ye make an offer of betrothal or hold it in your hearts. Allah knows that ye cherish them in your hearts: But do not make a secret contract with them except in terms Honourable, nor resolve on the tie of marriage till the term prescribed is fulfilled. And know that Allah Knoweth what is in your hearts, and take heed of Him; and know that Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Forbearing.

To those weak of understanding Make not over your property, which Allah hath made a means of support for you, but feed and clothe them therewith, and speak to them words of kindness and justice.

But if at the time of division other relatives, or orphans or poor, are present, feed them out of the (property), and speak to them words of kindness and justice.

"But if they strive to make thee join in worship with Me things of which thou hast no knowledge, obey them not; yet bear them company in this life with justice (and consideration), and follow the way of those who turn to me (in love): in the end the return of you all is to Me, and I will tell you the truth (and meaning) of all that ye did."

The Prophet is closer to the Believers than their own selves, and his wives are their mothers. Blood-relations among each other have closer personal ties, in the Decree of Allah. Than (the Brotherhood of) Believers and Muhajirs: nevertheless do ye what is just to your closest friends: such is the writing in the Decree (of Allah).

O Consorts of the Prophet! Ye are not like any of the (other) women: if ye do fear (Allah), be not too complacent of speech, lest one in whose heart is a disease should be moved with desire: but speak ye a speech (that is) just.

你们用含蓄的言词，向待婚的妇女求婚，或将你们的意思隐藏在心里，对於你们都是毫无罪过的。真主已知道你们不久要向她们提及婚约，（故准你们对她们有所表示），但不要与她们订密约，只可说合理的话；不要缔结婚约，直到守制满期。你们当晓得真主知道你们的心事，故你们当防备他；并当知道真主是至赦的，是至容的。

你们的财产，本是真主给你们用来维持生计的，你们不要把它交给愚人， 你们当以财产的利润供给他们的衣食。你们当对他们主温和的言语。

析产的时候，如有亲戚、孤儿、贫民在场，你们当以一部分遗产周济他们，并对他们说温和的言语。

如果他俩勒令你以你所不知道的东西配我，那么，你不要服从他俩，在今世，你应当依礼义而奉事他俩，你应当遵守归依我者的道路；惟我是你们的归宿，我要把你们的行为告诉你们。”

先知对信士的权利，重于他们自身的权利，他的众妻，是他们的母亲。血亲与血亲相互间的权利，依真主的经典，是重于信士和迁士的权利的，除非你们对自己的亲友行善。这是记录在天经里的。

先知的妻子们啊！你们不象别的任何妇女，如果你们敬畏真主，就不要说温柔的话，以免心中有病的人，贪恋你们；你们应当说庄重的话。
