"And rely upon God; and sufficient is God as Disposer of affairs."— Sahih Intl

"God has not made for a man two hearts in his interior. And He has not made your wives whom you declare un- lawful your mothers.

"Call them by [the names of] their fathers; it is more just in the sight of God. But if you do not know their fa- thers - then they are [still] your brothers in religion and those entrusted to you.

"The Prophet is more worthy of the believers than themselves, and his e, wives are [in the position of] their mothers. And those of [blood] relation- ship are more entitled [to inheritance] in the decree of God than the [other] believers and the emigrants, except that you may do to your close associates a kindness [through bequest]. That was in the Book inscribed."— Sahih Intl

"And [mention, O Muhammad], when We took from the prophets their cove- nant and from you and from Noah and Abraham and Moses and Jesus, the son of Mary; and We took from them a so- lemn covenant."— Sahih Intl

"O you who have believed, remember the favor of God upon you when ar- mies came to [attack] you and We sent upon them a wind and armies [of an- gels] you did not see. And ever is God, of what you do, Seeing."— Sahih Intl

They did not intend except to flee."— Sahih Intl

"And if they had been entered upon from all its [surrounding] regions and fitnah [i.e., disbelief] had been de- manded of them, they would have done it and not hesitated over it except brief- ly."— Sahih Intl

"And they had already promised God before not to turn their backs [i.e., flee]. And ever is the promise to God [that about which one will be] questioned."— Sahih Intl

"Say, “Who is it that can protect you from God if He intends for you an ill or intends for you a mercy?” And they will not find for themselves be- sides God any protector or any helper."— Sahih Intl

"Already God knows the hinderers among you and those [hypocrites] who say to their brothers, “Come to us,”1110 and do not go to battle, except for a few,"— Sahih Intl

"Indisposed toward you. And when fear comes, you see them looking at you, their eyes revolving like one being overcome by death. But when fear de- parts, they lash you with sharp tongues, indisposed toward [any] good. Those have not believed, so God has rendered their deeds worthless, and ever is that, for God, easy."— Sahih Intl

"They think the companies have not [yet] withdrawn. And if the compa- nies should come [again], they would wish they were in the desert among the bedouins, inquiring [from afar] about your news. And if they should be among you, they would not fight ex- cept for a little."— Sahih Intl

"There has certainly been for you in the Messenger of God an excellent pat- tern for anyone whose hope is in God and the Last Day and [who] re- members God often."— Sahih Intl

"And when the believers saw the com- panies, they said, “This is what God and His Messenger had promised us, and God and His Messenger spoke the truth.” And it increased them only in faith and acceptance."— Sahih Intl

"Among the believers are men true to what they promised God. Among them is he who has fulfilled his vow [to the death], and among them is he who awaits [his chance]. And they did not alter [the terms of their commitment] by any alteration -"— Sahih Intl

"That God may reward the truthful for their truth and punish the hypocrites if He wills or accept their repentance. In- deed, God is ever Forgiving and Merci- ful."— Sahih Intl

"O wives of the Prophet, you are not like anyone among women. If you fear God, then do not be soft in speech [to men], lest he in whose heart is dis- ease should covet, but speak with ap- propriate speech."— Sahih Intl

"And abide in your houses and do not display yourselves as [was] the display of the former times of ignorance. And establish prayer and give zakāh and obey God and His Messenger.

"It is not for a believing man or a believ- ing woman, when God and His Mes- senger have decided a matter, that they should [thereafter] have any choice about their affair. And whoever dis- obeys God and His Messenger has cer- tainly strayed into clear error."— Sahih Intl

"And [remember, O Muhammad], when you said to the one on whom God bes- towed favor and you bestowed fa- vor, “Keep your wife and fear God,” while you concealed within yourself that which God is to dis- close. And you feared the people, while God has more right that you fear Him. 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 long- er have need of them. And ever is the command [i.e., decree] of God accom- plished."— Sahih Intl

"O Prophet, indeed We have sent you as a witness and a bringer of good tidings and a warner."— Sahih Intl

"And one who invites to God, by His permission, and an illuminating lamp."— Sahih Intl

"And give good tidings to the believers that they will have from God great bounty."— Sahih Intl

"O Prophet, indeed We have made law- ful to you your wives to whom you have given their due compensation and those your right hand possesses from what God has returned to you [of captives] and the daughters of your pa- ternal uncles and the daughters of your paternal aunts and the daughters of your maternal uncles and the daughters of your maternal aunts who emigrated with you and a believing woman if she gives herself to the Prophet [and] if the Prophet wishes to marry her, [this is] only for you, excluding the [other] be- lievers. We certainly know what We have made obligatory upon them con- cerning their wives and those their right hands possess, [but this is for you] in order that there will be upon you no discomfort [i.e., difficulty]. And ever is God Forgiving and Merciful."— Sahih Intl

"You, [O Muhammad], may put aside whom you will of them or take to yourself whom you will. And any that you desire of those [wives] from whom you had [temporarily] separated - there is no blame upon you [in returning her]. That is more suitable that they should be content and not grieve and that they should be satisfied with what you have given them - all of them. And God knows what is in your hearts. And ever is God Knowing and Forbearing."— Sahih Intl

"Not lawful to you, [O Muhammad], are [any additional] women after [this], nor [is it] for you to exchange them for [other] wives, even if their beauty were to please you, except what your right hand possesses. And ever is God, over all things, an Observer."— Sahih Intl

"O you who have believed, do not enter the houses of the Prophet except when you are permitted for a meal, without awaiting its readiness. But when you are invited, then enter; and when you have eaten, disperse without seeking to re- main for conversation. Indeed, that [behavior] was troubling the Prophet, and he is shy of [dismissing] you. But God is not shy of the truth. And when you ask [his wives] for something, ask them from behind a partition. That is purer for your hearts and their hearts. And it is not [conceivable or lawful] for you to harm the Messenger of God or to marry his wives after him, ever.

"And those who harm believing men and believing women for [something] other than what they have earned [i.e., deserved] have certainly born upon themselves a slander and manifest sin."— Sahih Intl

"O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the be- lievers to bring down over themselves [part] of their outer garments. That is more suitable that they will be known and not be abused. And ever is God Forgiving and Merciful."— Sahih Intl

"If the hypocrites and those in whose hearts is disease and those who spread rumors in al-Madīnah do not cease, We will surely incite you against them; then they will not remain your neighbors therein except for a little."— Sahih Intl

"Accursed wherever they are found, [be- ing] seized and massacred completely."— Sahih Intl

"[This is] the established way of God with those who passed on before; and you will not find in the way of God any change."— Sahih Intl
