Those of you who say, regarding their wives, 'Be as my mother's back,' they are not truly their mothers; their mothers are only those who gave them birth, and they are surely saying a dishonourable saying, and a falsehood. Yet surely God is All-pardoning, All-forgiving.
از ميان شما كسانى كه زنانشان را «ظهار» مى‌كنند [و مى‌گويند: پشت تو چون پشت مادر من است‌] آنان مادرانشان نيستند. مادران آنها تنها كسانى‌اند كه ايشان را زاده‌اند، و قطعاً آنها سخنى زشت و باطل مى‌گويند، و[لى‌] خدا مسلماً درگذرنده آمرزنده است.
