M. H. Shakir, The Holy Quran; Arabic Text and English Translation; Foot-notes by M. H. Shakir (1974)

25. On that day Allah will pay back to them in full their just reward, and they shall know that Allah is the evident Truth.

26. Unclean things are for unclean ones and unclean ones are for unclean things, and the good things are for good ones and the good ones are for good things; these are free from what they say; they shall have forgiveness and an honourable sustenance.

Section 4

27. O you who believe I do not enter houses other than your own houses until you have asked permission and saluted their inmates; this is better for you that you may be mindful.

28. But if you do not find any one therein, then do not enter them until permission is given to you; and if it is said to you: Go back, then go back; this is purer for you; and Allah is Cognizant of what you do.

29. It is no sin in you that you enter uninhabited houses wherein you have your necessaries; and Allah knows what you do openly and what you hide.
