How can you take it back when you have been intimate with one another, and they (your wives) have taken a solemn covenant from you?
ثَمٰنِيَةَ اَزْوَاجٍۚ مِنَ الضَّأْنِ اثْنَيْنِ وَمِنَ الْمَعْزِ اثْنَيْنِۗ قُلْ ءٰۤالذَّكَرَيْنِ حَرَّمَ اَمِ الْاُنْثَيَيْنِ اَمَّا اشْتَمَلَتْ عَلَيْهِ اَرْحَامُ الْاُنْثَيَيْنِۗ نَبِّـُٔوْنِيْ بِعِلْمٍ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ صٰدِقِيْنَ

Eight pairs: sheep, a pair; goats, a pair. Say, 'Did He forbid males, females, or what’s in females’ wombs? Tell me with knowledge, if true.'
وَهُوَ الَّذِيْ مَدَّ الْاَرْضَ وَجَعَلَ فِيْهَا رَوَاسِيَ وَاَنْهٰرًا ۗوَمِنْ كُلِّ الثَّمَرٰتِ جَعَلَ فِيْهَا زَوْجَيْنِ اثْنَيْنِ يُغْشِى الَّيْلَ النَّهَارَۗ اِنَّ فِيْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰيٰتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يَّتَفَكَّرُوْنَ

It is He who spread out the earth and placed therein mountains and rivers. He made every fruit in pairs, and He covers the day with night. Indeed, in these are signs for those who reflect.
وَاللّٰهُ جَعَلَ لَكُمْ مِّنْ اَنْفُسِكُمْ اَزْوَاجًا وَّجَعَلَ لَكُمْ مِّنْ اَزْوَاجِكُمْ بَنِيْنَ وَحَفَدَةً وَّرَزَقَكُمْ مِّنَ الطَّيِّبٰتِۗ اَفَبِالْبَاطِلِ يُؤْمِنُوْنَ وَبِنِعْمَتِ اللّٰهِ هُمْ يَكْفُرُوْنَۙ

Allah has made for you spouses from among yourselves and granted you children and grandchildren through them, providing you with good things. Do they believe in falsehood and deny Allah’s favor?
الَّذِيْ جَعَلَ لَكُمُ الْاَرْضَ مَهْدًا وَّسَلَكَ لَكُمْ فِيْهَا سُبُلًا وَّاَنْزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَاۤءِ مَاۤءًۗ فَاَخْرَجْنَا بِهٖٓ اَزْوَاجًا مِّنْ نَّبَاتٍ شَتّٰى

(He is) the One who made the earth a resting place for you, traced paths upon it for you, and sent down water from the sky.' With it, We brought forth various kinds of plants.
يٰٓاَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ فِيْ رَيْبٍ مِّنَ الْبَعْثِ فَاِنَّا خَلَقْنٰكُمْ مِّنْ تُرَابٍ ثُمَّ مِنْ نُّطْفَةٍ ثُمَّ مِنْ عَلَقَةٍ ثُمَّ مِنْ مُّضْغَةٍ مُّخَلَّقَةٍ وَّغَيْرِ مُخَلَّقَةٍ لِّنُبَيِّنَ لَكُمْۗ وَنُقِرُّ فِى الْاَرْحَامِ مَا نَشَاۤءُ اِلٰٓى اَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى ثُمَّ نُخْرِجُكُمْ طِفْلًا ثُمَّ لِتَبْلُغُوْٓا اَشُدَّكُمْۚ وَمِنْكُمْ مَّنْ يُّتَوَفّٰى وَمِنْكُمْ مَّنْ يُّرَدُّ اِلٰٓى اَرْذَلِ الْعُمُرِ لِكَيْلَا يَعْلَمَ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ عِلْمٍ شَيْـًٔاۗ وَتَرَى الْاَرْضَ هَامِدَةً فَاِذَآ اَنْزَلْنَا عَلَيْهَا الْمَاۤءَ اهْتَزَّتْ وَرَبَتْ وَاَنْۢبَتَتْ مِنْ كُلِّ زَوْجٍۢ بَهِيْجٍ

O mankind, if you doubt the Resurrection, We created you from dust, then a sperm-drop, then a clot, then a lump, formed or unformed, to clarify for you; We settle it in wombs as We will, for a set term, then bring you as infants, then you reach maturity; some die, some reach old age, knowing nothing after knowledge; you see barren land, but when We send rain, it stirs, swells, and sprouts every lovely pair.
اَوَلَمْ يَرَوْا اِلَى الْاَرْضِ كَمْ اَنْۢبَتْنَا فِيْهَا مِنْ كُلِّ زَوْجٍ كَرِيْمٍ

wa tażarūna mā khalaqa lakum rabbukum min azwājikum, bal antum qamun ‘ādūn(a).
Leaving your wives your Lord created for you You are transgressors
وَمِنْ اٰيٰتِهٖٓ اَنْ خَلَقَ لَكُمْ مِّنْ اَنْفُسِكُمْ اَزْوَاجًا لِّتَسْكُنُوْٓا اِلَيْهَا وَجَعَلَ بَيْنَكُمْ مَّوَدَّةً وَّرَحْمَةً ۗاِنَّ فِيْ ذٰلِكَ لَاٰيٰتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يَّتَفَكَّرُوْنَ

Among His signs He created mates from yourselves for tranquility placing love and mercy between you A sign for those who reflect
خَلَقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ بِغَيْرِ عَمَدٍ تَرَوْنَهَا وَاَلْقٰى فِى الْاَرْضِ رَوَاسِيَ اَنْ تَمِيْدَ بِكُمْ وَبَثَّ فِيْهَا مِنْ كُلِّ دَاۤبَّةٍۗ وَاَنْزَلْنَا مِنَ السَّمَاۤءِ مَاۤءً فَاَنْۢبَتْنَا فِيْهَا مِنْ كُلِّ زَوْجٍ كَرِيْمٍ

He created the heavens without pillars you can see, set mountains on earth to stabilize it, spread all kinds of living creatures, and sent rain from the sky to grow every type of good plant.
وَاللّٰهُ خَلَقَكُمْ مِّنْ تُرَابٍ ثُمَّ مِنْ نُّطْفَةٍ ثُمَّ جَعَلَكُمْ اَزْوَاجًاۗ وَمَا تَحْمِلُ مِنْ اُنْثٰى وَلَا تَضَعُ اِلَّا بِعِلْمِهٖۗ وَمَا يُعَمَّرُ مِنْ مُّعَمَّرٍ وَّلَا يُنْقَصُ مِنْ عُمُرِهٖٓ اِلَّا فِيْ كِتٰبٍۗ اِنَّ ذٰلِكَ عَلَى اللّٰهِ يَسِيْرٌ

Allah created you from dust, then from a sperm-drop, then made you pairs. No female conceives or delivers except with His knowledge. No one’s life is lengthened or shortened but is recorded in a Book. This is easy for Allah.
سُبْحٰنَ الَّذِيْ خَلَقَ الْاَزْوَاجَ كُلَّهَا مِمَّا تُنْۢبِتُ الْاَرْضُ وَمِنْ اَنْفُسِهِمْ وَمِمَّا لَا يَعْلَمُوْنَ

Glory be to Him who created all pairs—of what the earth produces, of themselves, and of what they do not know.
خَلَقَكُمْ مِّنْ نَّفْسٍ وَّاحِدَةٍ ثُمَّ جَعَلَ مِنْهَا زَوْجَهَا وَاَنْزَلَ لَكُمْ مِّنَ الْاَنْعَامِ ثَمٰنِيَةَ اَزْوَاجٍ ۗ يَخْلُقُكُمْ فِيْ بُطُوْنِ اُمَّهٰتِكُمْ خَلْقًا مِّنْۢ بَعْدِ خَلْقٍ فِيْ ظُلُمٰتٍ ثَلٰثٍۗ ذٰلِكُمُ اللّٰهُ رَبُّكُمْ لَهُ الْمُلْكُۗ لَآ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا هُوَۚ فَاَنّٰى تُصْرَفُوْنَ

He created you from a single soul, then made its mate, and sent down eight pairs of livestock for you. He forms you in your mothers’ wombs, stage by stage, in three veils of darkness. That is God, your Lord, Owner of all dominion. There is no god but Him, so why are you turned away?
فَاطِرُ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالْاَرْضِۗ جَعَلَ لَكُمْ مِّنْ اَنْفُسِكُمْ اَزْوَاجًا وَّمِنَ الْاَنْعَامِ اَزْوَاجًاۚ يَذْرَؤُكُمْ فِيْهِۗ لَيْسَ كَمِثْلِهٖ شَيْءٌ ۚوَهُوَ السَّمِيْعُ الْبَصِيْرُ

Creator of heavens and earth, He made pairs for you from yourselves and from cattle, multiplying you thus. Nothing resembles Him; He is All-Hearing, All-Seeing.
اَوْ يُزَوِّجُهُمْ ذُكْرَانًا وَّاِنَاثًا ۚوَيَجْعَلُ مَنْ يَّشَاۤءُ عَقِيْمًا ۗاِنَّهٗ عَلِيْمٌ قَدِيْرٌ

wal-arḍa madadnāhā wa alqainā fīhā rawāsiya wa ambatnā fīhā min kulli zaujim bahīj(in).
And the earth We spread out, setting firm mountains and growing beautiful plants
وَمِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ خَلَقْنَا زَوْجَيْنِ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَذَكَّرُوْنَ
wa min kulli syai'in khalaqnā zaujaini la‘allakum tażakkarūn(a).
We created all things in pairs, that you may reflect.
وَاَنَّهٗ خَلَقَ الزَّوْجَيْنِ الذَّكَرَ وَالْاُنْثٰىۙ

فِيْهِمَا مِنْ كُلِّ فَاكِهَةٍ زَوْجٰنِۚ
fīhimā min kulli fākihatin zaujān(i).
Which of your Lord’s favors will you deny?
