| Shakir | (As for) those of you who put away their wives by likening their backs to the backs of their mothers, they are not their mothers; their mothers are no others than those who gave them birth; and most surely they utter a hateful word and a falsehood and most surely Allah is Pardoning, Forgiving. |

| Malik | Those of you who divorce their wives by ZihAr (calling them to be like their mothers) should know that they are not their mothers. Their mothers are only those who gave birth to them.

| QXP | Those of you who make senseless declarations about their wives, they by no means become their mothers. Their mothers are only those who gave birth to them. And so, behold, they only utter what is contrary to reason, and thus, false. And behold, Allah is Absolver of faults, Forgiving.

| Asad | As for those of you who [henceforth] separate themselves from their wives by saying, "Thou art as unlawful to me as my mother", [For this explanatory rendering of the verb yuzahirun, see note on 33:4. My interpolation of the word "henceforth" is necessary in view of the fact that the custom of zihar - in its sense of a definitive act of divorce - had been abolished by verses 2 - 4 of the present surah.] [let them bear in mind that] they can never be [as] their mothers: none are their mothers save those who gave them birth: and so, behold, they but utter a saying that runs counter to reason, [For this particular rendering of the term munkar, see the second note on 16:90.] and is [therefore] false. But, behold, God is indeed an absolver of sins, much-forgiving: |
