Surah Al-Mujaadila · Ayah 2·Madanī

2

ٱلَّذِينَ مِنكُم مِّن مَّا هُنَّ إِنْ إِلَّا ٱلَّٰٓـِٔى وَإِنَّهُمْ مِّنَ وَإِنَّ ﴿٢﴾

Translation

Saheeh International

Those who pronounce thihar among you [to separate] from their wives - they are not [consequently] their mothers. Their mothers are none but those who gave birth to them. And indeed, they are saying an objectionable statement and a falsehood. But indeed, Allah is Pardoning and Forgiving.
