58:3
وَالَّذِينَ
يُظَاهِرُونَ
مِن
نِّسَائِهِمْ
ثُمَّ
يَعُودُونَ
لِمَا
قَالُوا
فَتَحْرِيرُ
رَقَبَةٍ
مِّن
قَبْلِ
أَن
يَتَمَاسَّا
ذَلِكُمْ
تُوعَظُونَ
بِهِ
وَاللَّهُ
بِمَا
تَعْمَلُونَ
خَبِيرٌ
wa-lladhīna yuẓāhirūna min nisāʾihim thumma yaʿūdūna li-mā qālū fa-taḥrīru raqabatin min qabli ʾan yatamāssā dhālikum tūʿaẓūna bihī wa-llāhu bi-mā taʿmalūna khabīrun
Those who renounce their wives by calling them mothers and then change their minds about what they have said will have to set free a slave as a ransom and only then will their carnal relations be lawful. This is what you have been commanded. God is Well Aware of whatever you do.
