The Holy Quran 66:4 — Surah At-Tahrim

Arabic text

إِن تَتُوبَآ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ فَقَدْ صَغَتْ قُلُوبُكُمَا ۖ وَإِن تَظَـٰهَرَا عَلَيْهِ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ هُوَ مَوْلَىٰهُ وَجِبْرِيلُ وَصَـٰلِحُ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ۖ وَٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ ظَهِيرٌ

Translation

If the two of you (Hafsa and Aa'isha, two wives of Rasulullaah ﷺ) repent to Allaah, then your hearts have surely turned (turned back towards the best course after straying for a while.). However, if you two assist each other against him (Rasulullaah ﷺ), then his protecting friends are Allaah, Jibra'eel عليه الصلاة والسلام and the pious Mu'mineen. Besides these, the angels are also his assistants. (It is obvious that none can harm the person who has so many powerful beings to assist him.)

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

An urging to A'ishah ﵂ and Hafsah ﵂ to repent: this is an address to A'ishah ﵂ and Hafsah ﵂: if you repent, then indeed there is occasion for repentance, for your hearts have moved away from the path of moderation and inclined to one side. Therefore in future such immoderation should be avoided.
