Surah Al-Anbya — Ayah 17 (21:17)
لَوۡ أَرَدۡنَآ أَن نَّتَّخِذَ لَهۡوٗا لَّٱتَّخَذۡنَٰهُ مِن لَّدُنَّآ إِن كُنَّا فَٰعِلِينَ ١٧
English translation (Saheeh International)
Had We intended to take a diversion,1 We could have taken it from [what is] with Us - if [indeed] We were to do so.
- - Such as a wife or a child.
Brief commentary
If I wanted to take a wife or child, I would have done so on My own part. But I did not do this as I am pure of this.
