If ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly with the orphans, Marry women of your choice, Two or three or four; but if ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one, or (a captive) that your right hands possess, that will be more suitable, to prevent you from doing injustice.

Praise be to Allah, Who created (out of nothing) the heavens and the earth, Who made the angels, messengers with wings,- two, or three, or four (pairs): He adds to Creation as He pleases: for Allah has power over all things.

如果你们恐怕不能公平对待孤儿，那末，你们可以择你们爱悦的女人， 各娶两妻、三妻、四妻；如果你们恐怕不能公平地待遇她们，那末，你们只可以各娶一妻，或以你们的女奴为满足。这是更近于公平的。

一切赞颂，全归真主--天地的创造者！他使每个天神具有两翼，或三翼，或四翼。他在创造中增加他所欲增加的。真主对于万事确是全能的。
