As for those among you who die and leave widows behind, their widows shall wait by themselves for four months and ten days. When they have reached their term, there is no blame on you regarding what they might honorably do with themselves. God is fully acquainted with what you do.
و كسانى از شما كه مى‌ميرند و همسرانى به جا مى‌گذارند [آنها] بايد چهار ماه و ده روز عدّه نگه دارند، و چون عدّه‌ى آنها سر آمد، در آنچه به شايستگى در باره‌ى خود انجام دهند گناهى بر شما نيست، و خدا به آنچه مى‌كنيد آگاه است
