النبي اولى بالمؤمنين من انفسهم وازواجه امهاتهم واولو الارحام بعضهم اولى ببعض في كتاب الله من المؤمنين والمهاجرين الا ان تفعلوا الى اوليائكم معروفا كان ذلك في الكتاب مسطورا

The Prophet is closer To the Believers than Their own selves, And his wives are Their mothers. Blood-relations Among each other have Closer personal ties, In the Decree of God. Than (the Brotherhood of) Believers and Muhājirs: Nevertheless do ye What is just to your Closest friends: such is The writing in the Decree (Of God).
