and
when they are with him on a momentous affair they go not away until
they have asked his permission; surely they who ask your permission are
they who believe in Allah and His Messenger; so when they ask your
permission for some affair of theirs, give permission to whom you
please of them and ask forgiveness for them from Allah; surely Allah is
Forgiving, Merciful.

Y: Deem not the summons of the Messenger among yourselves like the
summons of one of you to another: Allah doth know those of you who slip
away under shelter of some excuse: then let those beware who withstand
the Messenger's order, lest some trial befall them, or a grievous
penalty be inflicted on them.

P: Make not the calling of the messenger among you as your calling one
of another. Allah knoweth those of you who steal away, hiding
themselves. And let those who conspire to evade orders beware lest
grief or painful punishment befall them.

S: Do not hold the Messenger's calling (you) among you to be like your
calling one to the other; Allah indeed knows those who steal away from
among you, concealing themselves; therefore let those beware who go
against his order lest a trial afflict them or there befall them a
painful chastisement.

Y: Be quite sure that to Allah doth belong whatever is in the heavens
and on earth. Well doth He know what ye are intent upon: and one day
they will be brought back to Him, and He will tell them the truth of
what they did: for Allah doth know all things.

P: Lo! verily unto Allah belongeth whatsoever is in the heavens and the
earth. He knoweth your condition. And (He knoweth) the Day when they
are returned unto Him so that He may inform them of what they did.
Allah is Knower of all things.

S: Now surely Allah's is whatever is in the heavens and the earth; He
knows indeed that to which you are conforming yourselves; and on the
day on which they are returned to Him He will inform them of what they
did; and Allah is Cognizant of all things.
