Surah An-Nisa, Ayah 25 (4:25)
وَمَنۡ لَّمۡ يَسۡتَطِعۡ مِنۡكُمۡ طَوۡلًا اَنۡ يَّنۡكِحَ الۡمُحۡصَنٰتِ الۡمُؤۡمِنٰتِ فَمِنۡ مَّا مَلَـكَتۡ اَيۡمَانُكُمۡ مِّنۡ فَتَيٰـتِكُمُ الۡمُؤۡمِنٰتِؕ وَاللّٰهُ اَعۡلَمُ بِاِيۡمَانِكُمۡؕ بَعۡضُكُمۡ مِّنۡۢ بَعۡضٍۚ فَانْكِحُوۡهُنَّ بِاِذۡنِ اَهۡلِهِنَّ وَاٰتُوۡهُنَّ اُجُوۡرَهُنَّ بِالۡمَعۡرُوۡفِ مُحۡصَنٰتٍ غَيۡرَ مُسٰفِحٰتٍ وَّلَا مُتَّخِذٰتِ اَخۡدَانٍؕ فَاِذَاۤ اُحۡصِنَّ فَاِنۡ اَتَيۡنَ بِفَاحِشَةٍ فَعَلَيۡهِنَّ نِصۡفُ مَا عَلَى الۡمُحۡصَنٰتِ مِنَ الۡعَذَابِؕ ذٰ لِكَ لِمَنۡ خَشِىَ الۡعَنَتَ مِنۡكُمۡؕ وَاَنۡ تَصۡبِرُوۡا خَيۡرٌ لَّكُمۡؕ وَاللّٰهُ غَفُوۡرٌ رَّحِيۡمٌ ٢٥
English translation (Pickthall)
And whoso is not able to afford to marry free, believing women, let them marry from the believing maids whom your right hands possess. Allah knoweth best (concerning) your faith. Ye (proceed) one from another; so wed them by permission of their folk, and give unto them their portions in kindness, they being honest, not debauched nor of loose conduct. And if when they are honourably married they commit lewdness they shall incur the half of the punishment (prescribed) for free women (in that case). This is for him among you who feareth to commit sin. But to have patience would be better for you. Allah is Forgiving, Merciful.

وَّالۡمُحۡصَنٰتُ مِنَ النِّسَآءِ اِلَّا مَا مَلَـكَتۡ اَيۡمَانُكُمۡۚ كِتٰبَ اللّٰهِ عَلَيۡكُمۡۚ وَاُحِلَّ لَـكُمۡ مَّا وَرَآءَ ذٰلِكُمۡ اَنۡ تَبۡتَـغُوۡا بِاَمۡوَالِكُمۡ مُّحۡصِنِيۡنَ غَيۡرَ مُسَافِحِيۡنَؕ فَمَا اسۡتَمۡتَعۡتُمۡ بِهٖ مِنۡهُنَّ فَاٰتُوۡهُنَّ اُجُوۡرَهُنَّ فَرِيۡضَةًؕ وَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ فِيۡمَا تَرٰضَيۡـتُمۡ بِهٖ مِنۡۢ بَعۡدِ الۡـفَرِيۡضَةِؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ عَلِيۡمًا حَكِيۡمًا ٢٤
4:24And all married women (are forbidden? unto you) save those (captives) whom your right hands possess. It is a decree of Allah for you. Lawful unto you are all beyond those mentioned, so that ye seek them with your wealth in honest wedlock, not debauchery. And those of whom ye seek content (by marrying them), give unto them their portions as a duty. And there is no sin for you in what ye do by mutual agreement after the duty (hath been done). Lo! Allah is ever Knower, Wise.
وَمَنۡ لَّمۡ يَسۡتَطِعۡ مِنۡكُمۡ طَوۡلًا اَنۡ يَّنۡكِحَ الۡمُحۡصَنٰتِ الۡمُؤۡمِنٰتِ فَمِنۡ مَّا مَلَـكَتۡ اَيۡمَانُكُمۡ مِّنۡ فَتَيٰـتِكُمُ الۡمُؤۡمِنٰتِؕ وَاللّٰهُ اَعۡلَمُ بِاِيۡمَانِكُمۡؕ بَعۡضُكُمۡ مِّنۡۢ بَعۡضٍۚ فَانْكِحُوۡهُنَّ بِاِذۡنِ اَهۡلِهِنَّ وَاٰتُوۡهُنَّ اُجُوۡرَهُنَّ بِالۡمَعۡرُوۡفِ مُحۡصَنٰتٍ غَيۡرَ مُسٰفِحٰتٍ وَّلَا مُتَّخِذٰتِ اَخۡدَانٍؕ فَاِذَاۤ اُحۡصِنَّ فَاِنۡ اَتَيۡنَ بِفَاحِشَةٍ فَعَلَيۡهِنَّ نِصۡفُ مَا عَلَى الۡمُحۡصَنٰتِ مِنَ الۡعَذَابِؕ ذٰ لِكَ لِمَنۡ خَشِىَ الۡعَنَتَ مِنۡكُمۡؕ وَاَنۡ تَصۡبِرُوۡا خَيۡرٌ لَّكُمۡؕ وَاللّٰهُ غَفُوۡرٌ رَّحِيۡمٌ ٢٥

يُرِيۡدُ اللّٰهُ لِيُبَيِّنَ لَـكُمۡ وَيَهۡدِيَكُمۡ سُنَنَ الَّذِيۡنَ مِنۡ قَبۡلِكُمۡ وَيَتُوۡبَ عَلَيۡكُمۡؕ وَاللّٰهُ عَلِيۡمٌ حَكِيۡمٌ ٢٦
4:26Allah would explain to you and guide you by the examples of those who were before you, and would turn to you in mercy. Allah is Knower, Wise.
وَاللّٰهُ يُرِيۡدُ اَنۡ يَّتُوۡبَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ وَيُرِيۡدُ الَّذِيۡنَ يَتَّبِعُوۡنَ الشَّهَوٰتِ اَنۡ تَمِيۡلُوۡا مَيۡلًا عَظِيۡمًا ٢٧
4:27And Allah would turn to you in mercy; but those who follow vain desires would have you go tremendously astray.
يُرِيۡدُ اللّٰهُ اَنۡ يُّخَفِّفَ عَنۡكُمۡۚ وَخُلِقَ الۡاِنۡسَانُ ضَعِيۡفًا ٢٨
4:28Allah would make the burden light for you, for man was created weak.
