اِنَّ الَّذِيۡنَ جَآءُوۡ بِالۡاِفۡكِ عُصۡبَةٌ مِّنۡكُمۡؕ لَا تَحۡسَبُوۡهُ شَرًّا لَّكُمۡؕ بَلۡ هُوَ خَيۡرٌ لَّكُمۡؕ لِكُلِّ امۡرِئٍ مِّنۡهُمۡ مَّا اكۡتَسَبَ مِنَ الۡاِثۡمِۚ وَالَّذِيۡ تَوَلّٰي كِبۡرَهٗ مِنۡهُمۡ لَهٗ عَذَابٌ عَظِيۡمٌ
Indeed, those who came with falsehood are a group among you. Do not think it bad for you; rather it is good for you. For every person among them is what [punishment] he has earned from the sin, and he who took upon himself the greater portion thereof - for him is a great punishment
لَوۡلَا٘ اِذۡ سَمِعۡتُمُوۡهُ ظَنَّ الۡمُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ وَالۡمُؤۡمِنٰتُ بِاَنۡفُسِهِمۡ خَيۡرًاۙ وَّقَالُوۡا هٰذَا٘ اِفۡكٌ مُّبِيۡنٌ
Why, when you heard it, did not the believing men and believing women think good of one another and say, "This is an obvious falsehood
لَوۡلَا جَآءُوۡ عَلَيۡهِ بِاَرۡبَعَةِ شُهَدَآءَۚ فَاِذۡ لَمۡ يَاۡتُوۡا بِالشُّهَدَآءِ فَاُولٰٓئِكَ عِنۡدَ اللّٰهِ هُمُ الۡكٰذِبُوۡنَ
Why did they [who slandered] not produce for it four witnesses? And when they do not produce the witnesses, then it is they, in the sight of Allah, who are the liars
وَلَوۡلَا فَضۡلُ اللّٰهِ عَلَيۡكُمۡ وَرَحۡمَتُهٗ فِي الدُّنۡيَا وَالۡاٰخِرَةِ لَمَسَّكُمۡ فِيۡ مَا٘ اَفَضۡتُمۡ فِيۡهِ عَذَابٌ عَظِيۡمٌۚ
And if it had not been for the favor of Allah upon you and His mercy in this world and the Hereafter, you would have been touched for that [lie] in which you were involved by a great punishment
اِذۡ تَلَقَّوۡنَهٗ بِاَلۡسِنَتِكُمۡ وَتَقُوۡلُوۡنَ بِاَفۡوَاهِكُمۡ مَّا لَيۡسَ لَكُمۡ بِهٖ عِلۡمٌ وَّتَحۡسَبُوۡنَهٗ هَيِّنًاࣗۖ وَّهُوَ عِنۡدَ اللّٰهِ عَظِيۡمٌ
When you received it with your tongues and said with your mouths that of which you had no knowledge and thought it was insignificant while it was, in the sight of Allah, tremendous
وَلَوۡلَا٘ اِذۡ سَمِعۡتُمُوۡهُ قُلۡتُمۡ مَّا يَكُوۡنُ لَنَا٘ اَنۡ نَّتَكَلَّمَ بِهٰذَاࣗۖ سُبۡحٰنَكَ هٰذَا بُهۡتَانٌ عَظِيۡمٌ
And why, when you heard it, did you not say, "It is not for us to speak of this. Exalted are You, [O Allah]; this is a great slander
يَعِظُكُمُ اللّٰهُ اَنۡ تَعُوۡدُوۡا لِمِثۡلِهٖ٘ اَبَدًا اِنۡ كُنۡتُمۡ مُّؤۡمِنِيۡنَۚ
Allah warns you against returning to the likes of this [conduct], ever, if you should be believers
وَيُبَيِّنُ اللّٰهُ لَكُمُ الۡاٰيٰتِؕ وَاللّٰهُ عَلِيۡمٌ حَكِيۡمٌ
And Allah makes clear to you the verses, and Allah is Knowing and Wise
اِنَّ الَّذِيۡنَ يُحِبُّوۡنَ اَنۡ تَشِيۡعَ الۡفَاحِشَةُ فِي الَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا لَهُمۡ عَذَابٌ اَلِيۡمٌۙ فِي الدُّنۡيَا وَالۡاٰخِرَةِؕ وَاللّٰهُ يَعۡلَمُ وَاَنۡتُمۡ لَا تَعۡلَمُوۡنَ
Indeed, those who like that immorality should be spread [or publicized] among those who have believed will have a painful punishment in this world and the Hereafter. And Allah knows and you do not know
وَلَوۡلَا فَضۡلُ اللّٰهِ عَلَيۡكُمۡ وَرَحۡمَتُهٗ وَاَنَّ اللّٰهَ رَءُوۡفٌ رَّحِيۡمٌࣖ
And if it had not been for the favor of Allah upon you and His mercy... and because Allah is Kind and Merciful
