58:3
والذين يظاهرون من نسايهم ثم يعودون لما قالوا فتحرير رقبة من قبل ان يتماسا ذالكم توعظون به والله بما تعملون خبير ٣
وَٱلَّذِينَ يُظَـٰهِرُونَ مِن نِّسَآئِهِمْ ثُمَّ يَعُودُونَ لِمَا قَالُوا۟ فَتَحْرِيرُ رَقَبَةٍۢ مِّن قَبْلِ أَن يَتَمَآسَّا ۚ ذَٰلِكُمْ تُوعَظُونَ بِهِۦ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرٌۭ ٣

Those who divorce their wives in this manner, then ˹wish to˺ retract what they said, must free a slave before they touch each other. This ˹penalty˺ is meant to deter you. And Allah is All-Aware of what you do.

“who reject their wives through ẓihār”

Explanation

As in the previous ayah, 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
