Ali Quli Qarai, The Qur’ān with a Phrase-by-Phrase English Translation (2005)
or what their right hands own.1
Be wary of Allah.
Indeed Allah is witness to all things.
56 Indeed Allah and His angels bless the Prophet;
O you who have faith!
Invoke blessings on him
and invoke Peace upon him in a worthy manner.
57 Indeed those who torment Allah and His Apostle
are cursed by Allah in the world and the Hereafter,
and He has prepared a humiliating punishment for them.
58 Those who torment faithful men and women
undeservedly,
certainly bear the guilt of slander and flagrant sin.
59 O Prophet!
Tell your wives and your daughters
and the women of the faithful
to draw closely over themselves
their chadors [when going out].
That makes it likely for them to be recognized
and not be troubled,
and Allah is all-forgiving, all-merciful.
60 If the hypocrites do not relinquish
and [also] those in whose hearts is a sickness,
and the rumourmongers in the city [do not give up],
We will surely urge you [to take action]
against them,
then they will not be your neighbours in it
1 That is, their female slaves.
