024.016 Y: And why did ye not, when ye heard it, say? - "It is not right of us to speak of this: Glory to Allah! this is a most serious slander!"

S: And why did you not, when you heard it, say: It does not beseem us that we should talk of it; glory be to Thee! this is a great calumny?
024.017 Y: Allah doth admonish you, that ye may never repeat such (conduct), if ye are (true) Believers.
P: Allah admonisheth you that ye repeat not the like thereof ever, if ye are (in truth) believers.
S: Allah admonishes you that you should not return to the like of it ever again if you are believers.
024.018 Y: And Allah makes the Signs plain to you: for Allah is full of knowledge and wisdom.
P: And He expoundeth unto you the revelations. Allah is Knower, Wise.
