only those who gave them birth, and they certainly utter evil and purely false words. And undoubtedly, Allah is
necessarily pardoning Forgiving.

incumbent upon them to free a slave before they touch each other, This is what you are admonished with, and
Allah is Aware of your doings.
4. But whoso finds not a slave he should fast for two months continuously before they touch each other, and if

Messenger. These are the limits of Allah, and for the infidels is a painful torment.

and His Messenger, even though they be their fathers or their sons or their brotheren or their kinsmen. These
are they in whose hearts Allah has inscribed faith and helped them with a spirit from Himself, and will make
