The Holy Quran 66:5 — Surah At-Tahrim

Arabic text

عَسَىٰ رَبُّهُۥٓ إِن طَلَّقَكُنَّ أَن يُبْدِلَهُۥٓ أَزْوَٰجًا خَيْرًا مِّنكُنَّ مُسْلِمَـٰتٍ مُّؤْمِنَـٰتٍ قَـٰنِتَـٰتٍ تَـٰٓئِبَـٰتٍ عَـٰبِدَٰتٍ سَـٰٓئِحَـٰتٍ ثَيِّبَـٰتٍ وَأَبْكَارًا

Translation

If he (Rasulullaah ﷺ) has to divorce all of you (wives), then his Rabb shall certainly replace you with wives better than yourselves who will be Muslims, Mu'minaat, obedient, repentant, worshippers, women who fast, previously married women and virgins.

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

If Allah wills, He can create for His Prophet ﷺ wives even better than you. What does He lack? (Note) ثَيِّبٰتٍ (“previously married women”, that is, widows)
