Ali Quli Qarai, The Qur’ān with a Phrase-by-Phrase English Translation (2005)

28 O Prophet!
Say to your wives,
‘If you desire the life of the world and its glitter,
come,
I will provide for you
and release you in a graceful manner.
29 But if you desire Allah and His Apostle
and the abode of the Hereafter,
then Allah has indeed prepared
for the virtuous among you a great reward.’
30 O wives of the Prophet!
Whoever of you commits a gross indecency,
her punishment shall be doubled,
and that is easy for Allah.

[Part 22]

31 But whoever of you is obedient to Allah and His Apostle
and acts righteously,
We shall give her a twofold reward,
and We hold a noble provision in store for her.
32 O wives of the Prophet!
You are not like any other women:
if you are wary '[of Allah],
then do not be complaisant in your speech,
lest he in whose heart is a sickness should aspire,
and speak honourable words.
33 Stay in your houses
and do not display your finery
with the display of the former [days of] ignorance.
Maintain the prayer and pay the zakāt,
