and let those who find not the means to marry be abstinent till god enriches them of his bounty. those your right hands own who seek emancipation contract with them accordingly if you know some good in them and give them of the wealth of god that he has given you. and constrain not your slavegirls to prostitution if they desire to live in chastity that you may seek the chance goods of the present life. whosoever constrains them surely god after their being constrained is allforgiving allcompassionate.
وليستعفف الذين لا يجدون نكاحا حتى يغنيهم الله من فضله والذين يبتغون الكتاب مما ملكت أيمانكم فكاتبوهم إن علمتم فيهم خيرا وآتوهم من مال الله الذي آتاكم ولا تكرهوا فتياتكم على البغاء إن أردن تحصنا لتبتغوا عرض الحياة الدنيا ومن يكرههن فإن الله من بعد إكراههن غفور رحيم
