ose (turn) thou hadst set aside. This were nigher to
the cooling of their eyes, the prevention of their grief, and their
satisfaction - that of all of them - with that which thou hast to
give them: and Allah knows (all) that is in your hearts: and
Allah is All-Knowing, Most Forbearing.
P: Thou canst defer whom thou wilt of them and receive unto thee whom
thou wilt, and whomsoever thou desirest of those whom thou hast set
aside (temporarily), it is no sin for thee (to receive her again); that
is better; that they may be comforted and not grieve, and may all be

their eyes may be cool and they may not grieve, and that they should be
pleased, all of them with what you give them, and Allah knows what is

preparation: but when ye are invited, enter; and when ye have taken
your meal, disperse, without seeking familiar talk. Such (behaviour)
