M.Pickthall
32. And marry such of you as are solitary and the pious of your slaves and maid servants.
If they be poor; Allah will enrich them of His bounty. Allah is of ample means, Aware.
Yusuf Ali
32. Marry those among you who are single or the virtuous ones among your slaves male or
female: if they are in poverty Allah will give them means out of His grace: for Allah
encompasseth all and He knoweth all things.
M.Pickthall
33. And let those who cannot find a match keep chaste till Allah give them independence
by His grace. And such of your slaves as seek a writing (of emancipation), write it for
them if ye are aware of aught of good in them, and bestow upon them of the wealth of Allah
which He hath bestowed upon you. Force not your slave girls to whoredom that ye may seek
enjoyment of the life of the world, if they would preserve their chastity. And if one force
them, then (unto them), after their compulsion, Lo! Allah will be Forgiving, Merciful.
Yusuf Ali
33. Let those who find not the wherewithal for marriage keep themselves chaste until Allah
gives them means out of His grace. And if any of your slaves ask for a deed in writing (to
enable them to earn their freedom for a certain sum) give them such a deed if ye know any
good in them; yea give them something yourselves out of the means which Allah has given to
you. But force not your maids to prostitution when they desire chastity in order that ye
may make a gain in the goods of this life. But if anyone compels them yet after such
compulsion is Allah Oft-Forgiving Most Merciful (to them).
M.Pickthall
34. And verily We have sent down for you revelations that make plain, and the example of
those who passed away before you. An admonition unto those who ward off (evil).
Yusuf Ali
34. We have already sent down to you verses making things clear an illustration from (the
story of) people who passed away before you and an admonition for those who fear (Allah).
