الزَّانِيَةُ
وَالزَّانِي
فَاجْلِدُوا
كُلَّ
وَاحِدٍ
مِّنْهُمَا
مِائَةَ
جَلْدَةٍ
وَلَا

اللَّهِ
إِن
كُنتُمْ
تُؤْمِنُونَ
بِاللَّهِ
وَالْيَوْمِ
الْآخِرِ
وَلْيَشْهَدْ
عَذَابَهُمَا
طَائِفَةٌ
مِّنَ
الْمُؤْمِنِينَ

As for the fornicatress and the fornicator, strike each of them a hundred lashes, and let not pity for them overcome you in Allah’s law, if you believe in Allah and the Last Day, and let their punishment be witnessed by a group of the faithful.
— Ali Quli Qarai
The woman and the man guilty of adultery or fornication,- flog each of them with a hundred stripes: Let not compassion move you in their case, in a matter prescribed by Allah, if ye believe in Allah and the Last Day: and let a party of the Believers witness their punishment.
