Transliteration:( Fa izaa balaghna ajalahunna fa amsikoohunna bima'roofin aw faariqoohunna bima'roofinw wa ashhidoo zawai 'adlim minkum wa aqeemush shahaadata lillaah; zaalikum yoo'azu bihee man kaana yu'minu billaahi wal yawmil aakhir; wa many yattaqil laaha yaj'al lahoo makhrajaa )
10. in that you go back to them. This command is regarding that divorce which is not of abusive language. Regarding such a divorce, Allah Almighty says: "Then if she is divorced for the third time, then that woman will not be lawful to him, until she lives with another husband..." (S2:V230) This means in less than three Talaqs the husband has the right to take the wife back within the period of waiting. If he had given three Talaqs. he cannot go back to her. Similarly, in Talaq-e-Baain there is no returning, he has to get married to her again.
11. In that you do not take her back, but allow the waiting period to be completed, or give the remaining divorce. This tells us that the three Talaqs should be given separately. To give three Talaqs in one sitting is detestable. But if these are given, they will become binding.
12. This command is concerning giving Talaq or taking the wife back. Otherwise, giving Talaq or taking the wife back is correct even without a witness. From this we learn that the witnesses should be pious believers. The testimony of the infidel and the perpetual transgressor is not acceptable as can be understood from "From you" and "just persons" and "you" signifies two men or one man and two women.
13. This means in matters of testimony do not be partial to one party. Be a witness only to obtain the pleasure of Allah Almighty, i.e. testify honestly. From this we understand that it is not permissible to take money for giving testimony. This has been discussed at the end of Surah Baqarah.
14. From this we learn that the infidels are not duty bound to religious orders. They are duty bound to beliefs only.
15. In that he should give Sunni Talaq, i.e. one Talaq after every menstrual period, and that during the waiting period after Talaq, the wife must not be taken out of the house, and should not try to extend the waiting period, that you should appoint witnesses as stipulated by Islam, when giving a divorce and when revoking it. In short, you should bear in mind the limits set by Islam in matters and issues of divorce.
16. In that if you regret after giving divorce, there will be an opportunity for taking the wife back, or He will grant the man a good wife, and the wife a good husband, or He will free them of the anxieties of this world and the Hereafter, or He will protect them from the severity of death and the Day of Judgement.
