وان امراة خافت من بعلها نشوزا او اعراضا فلا جناح عليهما ان يصلحا بينهما صلحا والصلح خير واحضرت الانفس الشح وان تحسنوا وتتقوا فان الله كان بما تعملون خبيرا

If a wife fears Cruelty or desertion On her husband's part, There is no blame on them If they arrange An amicable settlement Between themselves; And such settlement is best; Even though men's souls Are swayed by greed. But if ye do good And practise self-restraint, God is well-acquainted With all that ye do.
