Four
....

Those who forswear their wives must wait four months
1

Such of you as die and leave behind them wives,
they (the wives) shall wait, keeping themselves
apart, four months and ten days. 
1

Take four of the birds and cause them to incline unto thee
1

And if ye fear that ye will not deal fairly 
by the orphans, marry of the women, 
who seem good to you, two or three or four;
1

but if they have a child then unto you the fourth 
of that which they leave, after any legacy they 
may have bequeathed, or debt (they may have
contracted, hath been paid)
1

And unto them belongeth the fourth of that 
which ye leave if ye have no child,
1

As for those of your women who are guilty of 
lewdness, call to witness four of you 
against them.
1

Travel freely in the land four months,
and know that ye cannot escape Allah
1

Lo! the number of the months with Allah is twelve
months by Allah's ordinance in the day that
He created the heavens and the earth. Four of
them are sacred: that is the right religion.
So wrong not yourselves in them.
