Those who have brought forth the false accusation were a group from among you. Do not think it is bad for you, for it is good for you. Every person among them will have what he deserves of the sin. And as for he who had the greatest portion of it, he will have a great retribution.

If only when you heard it the believing males and the believing females should have thought good of their own selves and said: "This is an obvious lie!"

If only they had brought four witnesses to it. If they did not have the witnesses, then these with God are the liars.

And had it not been for the grace of God upon you, and His mercy in this world and the Hereafter, a great retribution would have touched you for what you have spoken.

For you have cast it with your tongues, and you say with your mouths what you have no knowledge of, and you think it is a minor issue, while with God it was great.
