mured.

S: And were it not for Allah's grace upon you and His mercy in this
world and the hereafter, a grievous chastisement would certainly have
touched you on account of the discourse which you entered into.

024.015
Y: Behold, ye received it on your tongues, and said out of your mouths
things of which ye had no knowledge; and ye thought it to be a light
matter, while it was most serious in the sight of Allah.

P: When ye welcomed it with your tongues, and uttered with your mouths
that whereof ye had no knowledge, ye counted it a trifle. In the sight
of Allah it is very great.

S: When you received it with your tongues and spoke with your mouths
what you had no knowledge of, and you deemed it an easy matter while
with Allah it was grievous.

024.016
Y: And why did ye not, when ye heard it, say? - "It is not right of us
to speak of this: Glory to Allah! this is a most serious slander!"

P: Wherefor, when ye heard it, said ye not: It is not for us to speak of
this. Glory be to Thee (O Allah)! This is awful calumny.

S: And why did you not, when you heard it, say: It does not beseem us
that we should talk of it; glory be to Thee! this is a great calumny?

024.017
Y: Allah doth admonish you, that ye may never repeat such (conduct), if
ye are (true) Believers.

P: Allah admonisheth you that ye repeat not the like thereof ever, if ye
are (in truth) believers.

S: Allah admonishes you that you should not return to the like of it
ever again if you are believers.

024.018
Y: And Allah makes the Signs plain to you: for Allah is full of
knowledge and wisdom.

P: And He expoundeth unto you the revelations. Allah is Knower, Wise.

S: And Allah makes clear to you the communications; and Allah is
Knowing, Wise.

024.019
Y: Those who love (to see) scandal published broadcast among the
Believers, will have a grievous Penalty in this life and in the
Hereafter: Allah knows, and ye know not.

P: Lo! those who love that slander should be spread concerning those who
believe, theirs will be a painful punishment in the world and the
Hereafter. Allah knoweth. Ye know not.

S: Surely (as for) those who love that scandal should circulate
respecting those who believe, they shall have a grievous chastisement
in this world and the hereafter; and Allah knows, while you do not
know.

024.020
Y: Were it not for the grace and mercy of Allah on you, and that Allah
is full of kindness and mercy, (ye would be ruined indeed).
