In context
Quranic text · Tanzil Uthmani 1.1How translators rendered it
Translation · 5 editionsThese translations render verse 24:16 — the whole verse this word appears in — not this word alone. The correspondence is verse-level: no word-level alignment of translations exists for these editions, so we do not claim which English word renders this Arabic word. Compare the editions →
When you heard it, you should have said, “It is not for us to repeat this. By Your glory, this is a serious slander.”Wherefor, when ye heard it, said ye not: It is not for us to speak of this. Glory be to Thee (O Allah)! This is awful calumnyAnd did ye say when ye heard it, "It is not for us to talk of this affair! O God! By thy Glory, this is a gross calumnyAnd why did ye not say when ye heard it, 'It is not for us to speak of this? Celebrated be His praises, this is a mighty calumnyand were it not for when you heard you said what he is for us that We speak by this your far removed is this a calumny greatGenerated from a table of word-by-word decisions, not written as prose. Arabic word order is preserved, so it reads stiffly and is not a substitute for a translation written by a person. Every verse is rendered, but the whole remains under review: words marked as judgement rest on weaker evidence than the rest and are flagged in place. No tafsir, hadith or existing translation was consulted.
