Those who accuse chaste women, and cannot produce four witnesses, you shall lash them with eighty lashes. And never accept their testimony, for they are evildoers, (4)

And those who accuse their wives and have no witnesses except themselves, let them testify by swearing by Allah four times that he is of the truthful, (6)

and the fifth time, that the curse of Allah shall be upon him, if he should be of the liars. (7)

But the punishment will be averted from her if she swears four times that he is of the liars, (8)

and on the fifth time the Wrath of Allah shall be upon her if he is of the truthful. (9)

those who came with the slander were a number of you. Do not regard it evil for you, rather it is good for you. Every person of them shall have the sin that he has earned charged to him. As for he who took upon himself the greater part there is a mightier punishment. (11)
