Translations of Quran 33:6
EnglishTalal Itani

The Prophet is more caring of the believers than they are of themselves, and his wives are mothers to them. And blood-relatives are closer to one another in Allah’s Book than the believers or the emigrants, though you should do good to your friends. That is inscribed in the Book.

EnglishPickthall, 1930

The Prophet is closer to the believers than their selves, and his wives are (as) their mothers. And the owners of kinship are closer one to another in the ordinance of Allah than (other) believers and the fugitives (who fled from Mecca), except that ye should do kindness to your friends. This is written in the Book (of nature).

TurkishElmalılı Hamdi Yazır, 1935

Peygamber, mü'minlere nefislerinden daha evlâdır, zevceleri de analarınızdır, ülülerham (akriba) da Allahın kitabında birbirlerine diğer mü'minlerden ve muhacirlerden daha evlâdırlar. Ancak dostlarınıza bir ma'ruf (bir vasıyyet) yapmanız müstesnâ, kitabda o yazılı bulunuyor

FrenchKazimirski, 1840

Le prophète est plus proche des croyants qu’ils ne le sont eux-mêmes ; ses femmes sont leurs mères. Selon le livre de Dieu, les hommes liés entre eux par les liens du sang sont plus proches les uns des autres que les autres croyants et les Mohadjers ; mais le peu de bien que vous ferez à vos amis sera inscrit dans le Livre.

DutchKeyzer, 1860, from Kazimirski's French

De profeet is den waren geloovigen nader dan hunne eigene zielen en zijne vrouwen zijn hunne moeders. Zij die door bloedverwantschap zijn verbonden, zijn, overeenkomstig het boek van God, elkander nader verwant dan de andere ware geloovigen en de Moharejun; maar doet wat voegzaam en redelijk is omtrent uwe verwanten in het algemeen. Dit wordt in Gods boek opgeschreven.

ItalianCalza, 1847, from Kazimirski's French

Il profeta ama i credenti più che non s’amano essi stessi; le sue mo gli sono le loro madri. Secondo il libro di Dio, gli uomini legati fra loro per vincoli di sangue sono più prossimi gli uni cogli altri, degli (altri) credenti, e dei Mohadjer; ma quel poco bene che farete a’ vostri amici sarà notato nel Libro.
