S:  So that the followers of the Book may know that they do not control aught of the grace of Allah, and that grace is in Allah’s hand, He gives it to whom He pleases; and Allah is the Lord of mighty grace.

Chapter 58: 

Al-MUJADILA (she that disputeth, the pleading woman)
Total Verses:  22 Revealed At:  Madina

-------------------------------------------------------

--------------

In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.

058.001 Y:  Allah has indeed heard (and accepted) the statement of the woman who pleads with thee concerning her husband and carries her complaint (in prayer) to Allah:  and Allah (always) hears the arguments between both sides among you:  for Allah hears and sees (all things).

P:  Allah hath heard the saying of her that disputeth with thee (Muhammad) concerning her husband, and complaineth unto Allah.  And Allah heareth your colloquy.  Lo!  Allah is Hearer, Knower.

S:  Allah indeed knows the plea of her who pleads with you about her husband and complains to Allah, and Allah knows the contentions of both of you; surely Allah is Hearing, Seeing.

058.002 Y:  If any men among you divorce their wives by Zihar (calling them mothers), they cannot be their mothers:  None can be their mothers except those who gave them birth.  And in fact they use words (both) iniquitous and false:  but truly Allah is one that blots out (sins), and forgives (again and again).

P:  Such of you as put away your wives (by saying they are as their mothers) — They are not their mothers; none are their mothers except those who gave them birth — they indeed utter an ill word and a lie.  And lo!  Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

S:  (As for) those of you who put away their wives by likening their backs to the backs of their mothers, they are not their mothers; their mothers are no others than those who gave them birth; and most surely they utter a hateful word and a falsehood and most surely Allah is Pardoning, Forgiving.

058.003 Y:  But those who divorce their wives by Zihar, then wish to go back on the words they uttered,- (It is ordained that such a one) should free a slave before they touch each other:  Thus are ye admonished to perform:  and Allah is well acquainted with (all) that ye do.

P:  Those who put away their wives (by saying they are as their mothers) and afterward would go back on that which they have said, (the penalty) in that case (is) the freeing of a slave before they touch one another.  Unto this ye are exhorted; and Allah is Informed of what ye do.

S:  And (as for) those who put away their wives by likening their backs to the backs of their mothers then would recall what they said, they should free a captive before they touch each other; to that you are admonished (to conform); and Allah is Aware of what you do.
