1- Surah (firm protective fence, chapter), We sent it down and imposed it, and sent down in it clear signs, that hopefully you will remember (urge to follow and remember its benefit)

2- The fornicatress and the fornicator (Intercourse between unmarried woman and man), flog each one of them a hundred flogs, and take no mercy on them in Allah’s religion (No mercy in this command) if you believe in Allah and in the last day, and let witness their torment a group of the believers

3- The fornicator does not wedlock except a fornicatress or a polytheist (female), and the fornicatress does not wedlock her except a fornicator or a polytheist, and is forbidden that (fornication) upon the believers

4- And those who cast (accuses adultery) the chaste women then do not bring four witnesses, then flog them (The accuser) eighty flogs, and do not accept from them a testimony ever, and those are the dissolute

5- Except those who repents from after that, and reformed (amended and did good deeds), as surely Allah is Forgiving Merciful

6- And those who cast their spouses (accuses adultery) and had no witness for them, except themselves, then the testimony of one of them is four testimonies that by Allah he is of the truthful

11- Indeed, those who come with slander (Deliberate lying), they are a gang from among you, do not count it as evil for you but rather it is a blessing for you (As Allah exposes to become a future deterrent and a kind of support for the Messenger and his call), for every person of them what he earned from among the sins, and that who guard the greater from among them (Initiated and lead the most slander), for him a great torment

12- If not, (it should have been) if you have heard it (The Slanders), you should have thought as the believers (men) and the believers (women) of one another good and say “That is a clears slander”

13- Why they do not produce upon it (the slander) four witnesses, then if they do not produce the witnesses, then those are the disbelievers

14- And if not for Allah’s blessing upon you and His mercy, in the wordily life and the hereafter, then would have touched you, in what you have overflowed (divulged of speedy slander), a great torment

15- As you cast it with your tongues, and say with your mouse what you have no knowledge of, and you count it as trifle, and it is with Allah a great thing
