when you divorce your wives and their waiting period has almost ended you may resume marital relations with honor or leave them with kindness. do not force them to live with you in suffering to satisfy your hostility. whoever commits such transgressions he has only harmed himself. do not make jest of gods words. remember the favors that god has done to you and the book and wisdom he has revealed for your guidance. have fear of god and know that god has knowledge of all things.
وإذا طلقتم النساء فبلغن أجلهن فأمسكوهن بمعروف أو سرحوهن بمعروف ولا تمسكوهن ضرارا لتعتدوا ومن يفعل ذلك فقد ظلم نفسه ولا تتخذوا آيات الله هزوا واذكروا نعمت الله عليكم وما أنزل عليكم من الكتاب والحكمة يعظكم به واتقوا الله واعلموا أن الله بكل شيء عليم
