يَٓا اَيُّهَا الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا لَا تَتَّخِذُوا بِطَانَةً مِنْ دُونِكُمْ لَا يَأْلُونَكُمْ خَبَالاًۜ وَدُّوا مَا عَنِتُّمْۚ قَدْ بَدَتِ الْبَغْضَٓاءُ مِنْ اَفْوَاهِهِمْۚ وَمَا تُخْف۪ي صُدُورُهُمْ اَكْـبَرُۜ قَدْ بَيَّنَّا لَكُمُ الْاٰيَاتِ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْقِلُونَ

Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoola tattakhithoo bitanatan min doonikum laya/loonakum khabalan waddoo ma AAanittum qad badatialbaghdao min afwahihim wama tukhfee sudooruhumakbaru qad bayyanna lakumu al-ayati inkuntum taAAqiloon

O you who heed warning: take not as intimates other than your own; they will not spare you ruin. They would that you should suffer. Hatred has already become clear from their mouths, and what their breasts hide is greater. We have made plain the proofs to you, if you will use reason.
