It is not for a believing man or a believing woman, when Allāh and His Messenger have decided a matter, that they should [thereafter] have any choice about their affair. And whoever disobeys Allāh and His Messenger has certainly strayed into clear error.

And [remember, O Muḥammad], when you said to the one on whom Allāh bestowed favor and you bestowed favor,¹ "Keep your wife and fear Allāh," while you concealed within yourself that which Allāh is to disclose.² And you feared the people,³ while Allāh has more right that you fear Him.⁴ So when Zayd had no longer any need for her, We married her to you in order that there not be upon the believers any discomfort [i.e., guilt] concerning the wives of their claimed [i.e., adopted] sons when they no longer have need of them. And ever is the command [i.e., decree] of Allāh accomplished.

There is not to be upon the Prophet any discomfort concerning that which Allāh has imposed upon him.¹ [This is] the established way of Allāh with those [prophets] who have passed on before. And ever is the command of Allāh a destiny decreed.

[Allāh praises] those who convey the messages of Allāh¹ and fear Him and do not fear anyone but Allāh. And sufficient is Allāh as Accountant.

Muḥammad is not the father of [any] one of your men, but [he is] the Messenger of Allāh and seal [i.e., last] of the prophets. And ever is Allāh, of all things, Knowing.

O you who have believed, remember Allāh with much remembrance

And exalt Him morning and afternoon.

It is He who confers blessing upon you,¹ and His angels [ask Him to do so] that He may bring you out from darknesses into the light. And ever is He, to the believers, Merciful.
