areful of your duty to your Lord Who created you from
a single soul and from it created its mate and from them twain hath
spread abroad a multitude of men and women. Be careful of your duty
toward Allah in Whom ye claim (your rights) of one another, and toward
the wombs (that bare you). Lo! Allah hath been a watcher over you.

S: O people! be careful of (your duty to) your Lord, Who created you
from a single being and created its mate of the same (kind) and spread
from these two, many men and women; and be careful of (your duty to)
Allah, by Whom you demand one of another (your rights), and (to) the
ties of relationship; surely Allah ever watches over you.

Y: To orphans restore their property (When they reach their age), nor
substitute (your) worthless things for (their) good ones; and devour
not their substance (by mixing it up) with your won. For this is indeed
a great sin.

P: Give unto orphans their wealth. Exchange not the good for the bad (in
your management thereof) nor absorb their wealth into your own wealth.
Lo! that would be a great sin.

S: And give to the orphans their property, and do not substitute
worthless (things) for (their) good (ones), and do not devour their
property (as an addition) to your own property; this is surely a great
crime.

ye shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one, or (a
captive) that your right hands possess, that will be more suitable, to
prevent you from doing injustice.

P: And if ye fear that ye will not deal fairly by the orphans, marry of
the women, who seem good to you, two or three or four; and if ye fear
that ye cannot do justice (to so many) then one (only) or (the
captives) that your right hands possess. Thus it is more likely that ye
will not do injustice.

S: And if you fear that you cannot act equitably towards orphans, then
marry such women as seem good to you, two and three and four; but if
you fear that you will not do justice (between them), then (marry) only
one or what your right hands possess; this is more proper, that you may
not deviate from the right course.

Y: And give the women (on marriage) their dower as a free gift; but if
they, of their own good pleasure, remit any part of it to you, Take it
and enjoy it with right good cheer.

P: And give unto the women
