وَاللَّذَانِ
يَأْتِيَانِهَا
مِنكُمْ
فَآذُوهُمَا
فَإِن
تَابَا
وَأَصْلَحَا
فَأَعْرِضُوا
عَنْهُمَا
إِنَّ
اللَّهَ
كَانَ
تَوَّابًا
رَّحِيمًا

If two men among you are guilty of lewdness, punish them both. If they repent and amend, Leave them alone; for Allah is Oft-returning, Most Merciful.
— Abdullah Yusufali
Should two among you commit it, chastise them both; but if they repent and reform, let them alone. Indeed Allah is all-clement, all-merciful.
