Ayah 25

وَمَن لَّمۡ يَسۡتَطِعۡ مِنكُمۡ طَوۡلًا أَن يَنكِحَ ٱلۡمُحۡصَنَٰتِ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنَٰتِ فَمِن مَّا مَلَكَتۡ أَيۡمَٰنُكُم مِّن فَتَيَٰتِكُمُ ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنَٰتِۚ وَٱللَّهُ أَعۡلَمُ بِإِيمَٰنِكُمۚ بَعۡضُكُم مِّنۢ بَعۡضٖۚ فَٱنكِحُوهُنَّ بِإِذۡنِ أَهۡلِهِنَّ وَءَاتُوهُنَّ أُجُورَهُنَّ بِٱلۡمَعۡرُوفِ مُحۡصَنَٰتٍ غَيۡرَ مُسَٰفِحَٰتٖ وَلَا مُتَّخِذَٰتِ أَخۡدَانٖۚ فَإِذَآ أُحۡصِنَّ فَإِنۡ أَتَيۡنَ بِفَٰحِشَةٖ فَعَلَيۡهِنَّ نِصۡفُ مَا عَلَى ٱلۡمُحۡصَنَٰتِ مِنَ ٱلۡعَذَابِۚ ذَٰلِكَ لِمَنۡ خَشِيَ ٱلۡعَنَتَ مِنكُمۡۚ وَأَن تَصۡبِرُواْ خَيۡرٞ لَّكُمۡۗ وَٱللَّهُ غَفُورٞ رَّحِيمٞ

25. And whoever amongst you does not have the means to marry free believing women, then let him marry such of the believing handmaids [103] who are the possession of your right hand. And Allah knows your faith very well. You are all alike (in religion). Therefore, marry them [104] with the permission of their masters [105], and give them their dowries [106] according to the fair convention for bringing in marriage, being honorable, pure, and chaste, but neither for lust nor making lovers [107]. And when they are wedded, if they commit any act of indecency, then on them the punishment is half [108] of that of free women [109]. This (permission of marriage) is for those among you who are afraid of adultery, but it is better for you to have patience [110]. And Allah is Most Forgiving, Merciful.

Ayah 97

قُلۡ مَن كَانَ عَدُوّٗا لِّـجِبۡرِيلَ فَإِنَّهُۥ نَزَّلَهُۥ عَلَىٰ قَلۡبِكَ بِإِذۡنِ ٱللَّهِ مُصَدِّقٗا لِّمَا بَيۡنَ يَدَيۡهِ وَهُدٗى وَبُشۡرَىٰ لِلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

97. Say (O Muhammad): "Whoever is an enemy to Jibraeel [185], it is he who brought it (the Qur'an) down upon your heart (O Muhammad) [186], with the permission of Allah, confirming what came before it and as a guidance and glad tidings for the believers." [187]

Ayah 102

وَٱتَّبَعُواْ مَا تَتۡلُواْ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينُ عَلَىٰ مُلۡكِ سُلَيۡمَٰنَۖ وَمَا كَفَرَ سُلَيۡمَٰنُ وَلَٰكِنَّ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينَ كَفَرُواْ يُعَلِّمُونَ ٱلنَّاسَ ٱلسِّحۡرَ وَمَآ أُنزِلَ عَلَى ٱلۡمَلَكَيۡنِ بِبَابِلَ هَٰرُوتَ وَمَٰرُوتَۚ وَمَا يُعَلِّمَانِ مِنۡ أَحَدٍ حَتَّىٰ يَقُولَآ إِنَّمَا نَحۡنُ فِتۡنَةٞ فَلَا تَكۡفُرۡۖ فَيَتَعَلَّمُونَ مِنۡهُمَا مَا يُفَرِّقُونَ بِهِۦ بَيۡنَ ٱلۡمَرۡءِ وَزَوۡجِهِۦۚ وَمَا هُم بِضَآرِّينَ بِهِۦ مِنۡ أَحَدٍ إِلَّا بِإِذۡنِ ٱللَّهِۚ وَيَتَعَلَّمُونَ مَا يَضُرُّهُمۡ وَلَا يَنفَعُهُمۡۚ وَلَقَدۡ عَلِمُواْ لَمَنِ ٱشۡتَرَىٰهُ مَا لَهُۥ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ مِنۡ خَلَٰقٖۚ وَلَبِئۡسَ مَا شَرَوۡاْ بِهِۦٓ أَنفُسَهُمۡۚ لَوۡ كَانُواْ يَعۡلَمُونَ

102. And they followed (instead) what the Shaitaan had recited during the reign of Sulaiman [195]. It was not Sulaiman who disbelieved, but the Shaitaan who disbelieved [196], teaching people magic and that which was revealed to the two angels at Babylon, Harut and Marut [197]. And they (the two angels) do not teach anyone anything unless they say: "We are merely a test. Therefore, do not be infidels" [198]. And they learn from them that which causes separation [199] between husband and wife. But they do not harm anyone through it except by permission of Allah. And they learn what will harm them and not benefit them [200]. And certainly, they knew whosoever traded in it (magic) will have no share [201] in the Hereafter. And surely, most evil is that for which they have sold themselves, if only they had known.

فَإِن لَّمۡ تَجِدُواْ فِيهَآ أَحَدٗا فَلَا تَدۡخُلُوهَا حَتَّىٰ يُؤۡذَنَ لَكُمۡۖ وَإِن قِيلَ لَكُمُ ٱرۡجِعُواْ فَٱرۡجِعُواْۖ هُوَ أَزۡكَىٰ لَكُمۡۚ وَٱللَّهُ بِمَا تَعۡمَلُونَ عَلِيمٞ

28. But if you find not anyone [52] therein, then also enter them not without the permission of the owners [53]; and if you are told to go back [54], then go back. This is cleaner for you, and Allah knows your deeds. Who would grant you permission to enter?

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لَا تَدۡخُلُواْ بُيُوتَ ٱلنَّبِيِّ إِلَّآ أَن يُؤۡذَنَ لَكُمۡ إِلَىٰ طَعَامٍ غَيۡرَ نَٰظِرِينَ إِنَىٰهُ وَلَٰكِنۡ إِذَا دُعِيتُمۡ فَٱدۡخُلُواْ فَإِذَا طَعِمۡتُمۡ فَٱنتَشِرُواْ وَلَا مُسۡتَـٔۡنِسِينَ لِحَدِيثٍۚ إِنَّ ذَٰلِكُمۡ كَانَ يُؤۡذِي ٱلنَّبِيَّ فَيَسۡتَحۡيِۦ مِنكُمۡۖ وَٱللَّهُ لَا يَسۡتَحۡيِۦ مِنَ ٱلۡحَقِّۚ وَإِذَا سَأَلۡتُمُوهُنَّ مَتَٰعٗا فَسۡـَٔلُوهُنَّ مِن وَرَآءِ حِجَابٖۚ ذَٰلِكُمۡ أَطۡهَرُ لِقُلُوبِكُمۡ وَقُلُوبِهِنَّۚ وَمَا كَانَ لَكُمۡ أَن تُؤۡذُواْ رَسُولَ ٱللَّهِ وَلَآ أَن تَنكِحُوٓاْ أَزۡوَٰجَهُۥ مِنۢ بَعۡدِهِۦٓ أَبَدًاۚ إِنَّ ذَٰلِكُمۡ كَانَ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ عَظِيمًا

53.0 believers [147] do not enter [148] the houses of the Prophet unless you get permission (149) for meal, not waiting (150) for its preparation. Yes, when you are invited then enter, and when you have taken your meal then disperse, not this that you may sit down and amuse (151) yourselves in talks. Surely this was causing inconvenience to the Prophet, and he had regard (152) for you. But Allah is not shy (154) of saying the truth. And when you ask them anything of use, ask it of them from behind (155) a curtain. This is for purity of your hearts and their hearts (156). And it does not behove you that you should annoy (157) the Messenger of Allah, and nor should you ever marry his wives after (158) him. Indeed this is a grievous (159) thing in the sight of Allah.

49. And he shall be a Messenger to the children of Israel [103] saying: I have come to you with a sign from your Lord [104] that I can make for you out of clay a figure of a bird [105], then breathe [106] into it and it will become alive, by the permission of Allah [107]. And I will heal [108] the blind and the leper [109] and give life to the dead, by permission of Allah [110]. And I can tell you what you have eaten and what you have stored in your homes [111]. Surely, in that you have signs, for you, if you believe.
