الْمُؤْمِنُونَ
الَّذِينَ
آمَنُوا
بِاللَّهِ
وَرَسُولِهِ
وَإِذَا
كَانُوا

أَمْرٍ
جَامِعٍ
لَّمْ
يَذْهَبُوا
حَتَّى
يَسْتَأْذِنُوهُ

الَّذِينَ
يَسْتَأْذِنُونَكَ
أُولَئِكَ
الَّذِينَ
يُؤْمِنُونَ
بِاللَّهِ
وَرَسُولِهِ
فَإِذَا
اسْتَأْذَنُوكَ
لِبَعْضِ
شَأْنِهِمْ
فَأْذَن
لِّمَن
شِئْتَ
مِنْهُمْ
وَاسْتَغْفِرْ
لَهُمُ
اللَّهَ
إِنَّ
اللَّهَ
غَفُورٌ

Indeed the faithful are those who have faith in Allah and His Apostle, and when they are with him in a collective affair, they do not leave until they have sought his permission. Indeed those who seek your permission are those who have faith in Allah and His Apostle. So when they seek your permission for some of theirs [private] work, give permission to whomever of them you wish and plead with Allah to forgive them. Indeed Allah is all-forgiving, all-merciful.
— Ali Quli Qarai
Only those are believers, who believe in Allah and His Messenger: when they are with him on a matter requiring collective action, they do not depart until they have asked for his leave; those who ask for thy leave are those who believe in Allah and His Messenger; so when they ask for thy leave, for some business of theirs, give leave to those of them whom thou wilt, and ask Allah for their forgiveness: for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
