The Quran

الَّذينَ يُظاهِرونَ مِنكُم مِن نِسائِهِم ما هُنَّ أُمَّهاتِهِم ۖ إِن أُمَّهاتُهُم إِلَّا اللّائي وَلَدنَهُم ۚ وَإِنَّهُم لَيَقولونَ مُنكَرًا مِنَ القَولِ وَزورًا ۚ وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لَعَفُوٌّ غَفورٌ

Muhammad Asad

As for those of you who [henceforth] separate themselves from their wives by saying, "Thou art as unlawful to me as my mother",¹ [let them bear in mind that] they can never be [as] their mothers: none are their mothers save those who gave them birth: and so, behold, they but utter a saying that runs counter to reason,² and is [therefore] false. But, behold, God is indeed an absolver of sins, much-forgiving:

For this explanatory rendering of the verb yuzahirun, see surah 33, note 3. My interpolation of the word "henceforth" is necessary in view of the fact that the custom of zihar - in its sense of a definitive act of divorce - had been abolished by verses 24 of the present surah.
For this particular rendering of the term munkar, see surah 16, note 109.
