Quran 24:32 — An-Noor, verse 32
M. A. S. Abdel Haleem · selected translation
Marry off the single among you and those of your male and female slaves who are fit [for marriage]. If they are poor, God will provide for them from His bounty: God’s bounty is infinite and He is all knowing.
وَأَنْكِحُوا الْأَيَامَىٰ مِنْكُمْ وَالصَّالِحِينَ مِنْ عِبَادِكُمْ وَإِمَائِكُمْ ۚ إِنْ يَكُونُوا فُقَرَاءَ يُغْنِهِمُ اللَّهُ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ ۗ وَاللَّهُ وَاسِعٌ عَلِيمٌ
wa-ankiḥū l-ayāmā minkum wal-ṣāliḥīna min ʿibādikum wa-imāikum in yakūnū fuqarāa yugh'nihimu l-lahu min faḍlihi wal-lahu wāsiʿun ʿalīmun
