Arabic text

يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّبِىُّ لِمَ تُحَرِّمُ مَآ أَحَلَّ ٱللَّهُ لَكَ ۖ تَبْتَغِى مَرْضَاتَ أَزْوَٰجِكَ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ

Translation

(Referring to a specific incident in the life of Rasulullaah ﷺ when he took an oath to declare something unlawful for himself, Allaah says,) O Nabi ﷺ!

Allaah is Most Forgiving, Most Merciful (and Allaah is merely advising you out of His mercy and not rebuking you at all).
