Believers, do not enter the houses of the Prophet, unless you are invited for a meal. Do not linger until a meal is ready. When you are invited enter and when you have taken your meal, depart. Do not stay on, indulging in conversation. Doing that causes annoyance to the Prophet, though he is too reticent to tell you so, but God is not reticent with the truth. When you ask [the wives of the Prophet] for anything, ask them from behind a curtain. That will be purer for your hearts as well as their hearts. It is not right for you to cause annoyance to the Messenger of God or for you ever to marry his wives after him. Indeed that would be an enormity in the sight of God.
اى كسانى كه ايمان آورده‌ايد، داخل اتاقهاى پيامبر مشويد، مگر آنكه براى [خوردن‌] طعامى به شما اجازه داده شود، [آن هم‌] بى‌آنكه در انتظار پخته‌شدن آن باشيد؛ ولى هنگامى كه دعوت شديد داخل گرديد، و وقتى غذا خورديد پراكنده شويد بى‌آنكه سرگرم سخنى گرديد. اين [رفتار] شما پيامبر را مى‌رنجاند و[لى‌] از شما شرم مى‌دارد، و حال آنكه خدا از حق‌[گويى‌] شرم نمى‌كند، و چون از زنان [پيامبر] چيزى خواستيد از پشت پرده از آنان بخواهيد؛ اين براى دلهاى شما و دلهاى آنان پاكيزه‌تر است، و شما حق نداريد رسول خدا را برنجانيد، و مطلقاً [نبايد] زنانش را پس از [مرگ‌] او به نكاح خود درآوريد، چرا كه اين [كار] نزد خدا همواره [گناهى‌] بزرگ است.
