And when you said to him to whom Allah had shown favor and to whom you had shown a favor: Keep your wife to yourself and be careful of (your duty to) Allah; and you concealed in your soul what Allah would bring to light, and you feared men, and Allah had a greater right that you should fear Him. But when Zaid had accomplished his want of her, We gave her to you as a wife, so that there should be no difficulty for the believers in respect of the wives of their adopted sons, when they have accomplished their want of them; and Allah's command shall be performed.
アッラーの恩恵を授かり，またあなたが親切を尽くした者に，こう言った時を思え。「妻をあなたの許に留め，アッラーを畏れなさい。」だがあなたは，アッラーが暴露しようとされた，自分の胸の中に隠していたこど（養子の妻との結婚が人の口の端に上がること）を恐れていた。寧あなたは，アッラーを畏れるのが本当であった。それでザイドが，かの女に就いて必要なことを済ませ（離別し）たので，われはあなたをかの女と結婚させた。（これからは）信者が，必要な離婚手続きを完了した時は，自分の養子の妻でも，（結婚にも）差し支えないことにした。アッラーの命令は完遂しなければならない。
