You will never be able to do perfect justice between wives even if it is your ardent desire, so do not incline too much to one of them (by giving her more of your time and provision) so as to leave the other hanging (i.e. neither divorced nor married). And if you do justice, and do all that is right and fear Allah by keeping away from all that is wrong, then Allah is Ever Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
Wala hamtaweza kufanya uadilifu baina ya wake, hata mkikakamia. Kwa hivyo msimili moja kwa moja mkamwacha (mmojapo) kama aliye tundikwa. Na mkisikizana na mkamchamngu basi Mwenyezi Mungu ni Mwingi wa maghfira na Mwenye kurehemu.
