and when ye have divorced your women and they have attained their period then either retain them reputably or let them off kindly and retain them not to their hurt that ye may trespass and whosoever doth this assuredly wrongeth his soul. and hold not allahs commandments in mockery and remember allahs favour upon you and that he hath sent down unto you the book and the wisdom wherewith he exhorted you and fear allah and know that verily allah is of everything the knower
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
