Revealed in Madinah, Surah At-Tahrim (The Prohibition) addresses domestic events in the Prophet's household, establishing guidelines for oaths and family relationships. It commands the believers to protect themselves and their families from a fire whose fuel is men and stones. The chapter uses the wives of Noah and Lot as warnings for the unfaithful, and the wife of Pharaoh and Virgin Mary as role models of steadfast belief.

Translation
The Prophet told something in confidence to one of his wives. But when she disclosed it, and God made it known to him; he communicated part of it, and he avoided another part. Then, when he informed her of it, she said, “Who informed you of this?” He said, “The All-Knowing, the All-Informed, informed me.”

O you who believe! Protect yourselves and your families from a Fire, whose fuel is people and stones. Over it are angels, fierce and powerful. They never disobey God in anything He commands them, and they carry out whatever they are commanded

Translation
O you who believe! Repent to God with sincere repentance. Perhaps your Lord will remit your sins, and admit you into gardens beneath which rivers flow, on the Day when God will not disappoint the Prophet and those who believed with him. Their light streaming before them, and to their right, they will say, “Our Lord, complete our light for us, and forgive us; You are capable of all things.”
