o herald of the hidden! we have indeed made lawful for you the wives to whom you have paid their bridal money and the bondwomen you possess whom allah gave you as war booty and the daughters of your paternal uncles and the daughters of your paternal aunts and the daughters of your maternal uncles and the daughters of your maternal aunts those who migrated with you and the believing woman if she gifts her life to the prophet if the prophet desires to take her in marriage this is exclusively for you not for your followers we indeed know what we have enjoined upon the muslims concerning their wives and the bondwomen they possess – this exclusivity for you is so that you may not have constraints and allah is oft forgiving most merciful.
يا أيها النبي إنا أحللنا لك أزواجك اللاتي آتيت أجورهن وما ملكت يمينك مما أفاء الله عليك وبنات عمك وبنات عماتك وبنات خالك وبنات خالاتك اللاتي هاجرن معك وامرأة مؤمنة إن وهبت نفسها للنبي إن أراد النبي أن يستنكحها خالصة لك من دون المؤمنين قد علمنا ما فرضنا عليهم في أزواجهم وما ملكت أيمانهم لكيلا يكون عليك حرج وكان الله غفورا رحيما
