يَا أَيُّهَا
النَّبِيُّ
لِمَ
تُحَرِّمُ
مَا
أَحَلَّ
اللَّهُ
لَكَ
تَبْتَغِي
مَرْضَاتَ
أَزْوَاجِكَ
وَاللَّهُ
غَفُورٌ
رَّحِيمٌ
yā-ʾayyuhā n-nabiyyu li-ma tuḥarrimu mā ʾaḥalla llāhu laka tabtaghī marḍāta ʾazwājika wa-llāhu ghafūrun raḥīmun
O Prophet! Why holdest thou to be forbidden that which Allah has made lawful to thee? Thou seekest to please thy consorts. But Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
— Abdullah Yusufali
O Prophet! Why do you disallow [yourself] what Allah has made lawful for you, seeking to please your wives? And Allah is all-forgiving, all-merciful.
