Medinan, 12 verses
In the name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
Prophet, why do you prohibit what God made lawful for you looking for your wives' pleasure? God is forgiving and merciful.
God has mandated for you breaking up of your oaths (when they are in conflict with God's commandments). God is your protector, and He is the knowledgeable, the wise.
And when the prophet confidentially told a saying to one of his wives, then when she told (the other) about it, God informed him of it, making known some of it and avoided some. So when he told her about it, she said: “Who told you about this?” He said: “The knowledgeable, the well-informed told me.”

You who believe, repent to God a sincere repentance, perhaps your Lord removes your sins from you and admits you to gardens which rivers flow through them on a day that God does not humiliate the prophet and those who believe with him. Their light rushing ahead of them and to the right of them, and they say: “Our Lord, complete our light for us and forgive us, You are capable of everything.”
Prophet, try hard against the disbelievers and the hypocrites and be firm against them. Their housing will be hell, a miserable destination.
God gave an example of those who disbelieved, wife of Noah and wife of Lot, they were under (marriage to) two servants from Our righteous servants, then they both betrayed them, so they were of no use to them against God whatsoever, and were told: “Enter the fire with those who enter.”
