يَا أَيُّهَا
الَّذِينَ
آمَنُوا
لَا
تَسْأَلُوا
عَنْ
أَشْيَاءَ
إِن
تُبْدَ
لَكُمْ
تَسُؤْكُمْ
وَإِن
تَسْأَلُوا
عَنْهَا
حِينَ
يُنَزَّلُ
الْقُرْآنُ
تُبْدَ
لَكُمْ
عَفَا
اللَّهُ
عَنْهَا
وَاللَّهُ
غَفُورٌ
حَلِيمٌ
yā-ʾayyuhā lladhīna ʾāmanū lā tasʾalū ʿan ʾashyāʾa ʾin tubda lakum tasuʾkum wa-ʾin tasʾalū ʿanhā ḥīna yunazzalu l-qurʾānu tubda lakum ʿafā llāhu ʿanhā wa-llāhu ghafūrun ḥalīmun
O you who have faith! Do not ask about things, which, if they are disclosed to you, will upset you. Yet if you ask about them while the Quran is being sent down, they shall be disclosed to you. Allah has excused it, and Allah is all-forgiving, all-forbearing.
— Ali Quli Qarai
O ye who believe! Ask not questions about things which, if made plain to you, may cause you trouble. But if ye ask about things when the Qur'an is being revealed, they will be made plain to you, Allah will forgive those: for Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Forbearing.
