الذين يظاهرون منكم من نسايهم ما هن امهاتهم ان امهاتهم الا اللايي ولدنهم وانهم ليقولون منكرا من القول وزورا وان الله لعفو غفور ٢
ٱلَّذِينَ يُظَـٰهِرُونَ مِنكُم مِّن نِّسَآئِهِم مَّا هُنَّ أُمَّهَـٰتِهِمْ ۖ إِنْ أُمَّهَـٰتُهُمْ إِلَّا ٱلَّـٰٓـِٔى وَلَدْنَهُمْ ۚ وَإِنَّهُمْ لَيَقُولُونَ مُنكَرًۭا مِّنَ ٱلْقَوْلِ وَزُورًۭا ۚ وَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَعَفُوٌّ غَفُورٌۭ ٢

٢
Those of you who ˹sinfully˺ divorce their wives by comparing them to their mothers ˹should know that˺ their wives are in no way their mothers. None can be their mothers except those who gave birth to them. What they say is certainly detestable and false. Yet Allah is truly Ever-Pardoning, All-Forgiving.

“who reject their wives through ẓihār”

Explanation

These readings convey the same meaning with various verbs describing the pre-Islamic practice of ẓihār, in which a man would swear off his wife, likening her 'to his mother's back'. The verbs are forms III, V and VI, respectively.

He has revealed to you ˹O Prophet˺ the Book in truth, confirming what came before it, as He revealed the Torah and the Gospel
