ألا إنهم يثنون صدورهم ليستخفوا منه ألا حين يستغشون ثيابهم يعلم ما يسرون وما يعلنون إنه عليم بذات الصدور
No doubt! They fold up their breasts that they may hide from Him. Surely, when they cover (themselves) (with) their garments, He knows what they conceal and what they reveal. Indeed, He (is) All-Knower of what (is in) the breasts.
ولا أقول لكم عندي خزائن الله ولا أعلم الغيب ولا أقول إني ملك ولا أقول للذين تزدري أعينكم لن يؤتيهم الله خيرا الله أعلم بما في أنفسهم إني إذا لمن الظالمين
And not I say to you (that) with me (are the) treasures (of) Allah, and not I know the unseen, and not I say that I am an Angel, and not I say for those whom look down upon your eyes, never will give them Allah any good. Allah knows best what (is) in their souls. Indeed, I then (will be) surely of the wrongdoers."
