O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves [part] of their outer garments. That is more suitable that they will be known and not be abused. And ever is Allāh Forgiving and Merciful.

நபியே! நீர் உம் மனைவிகளுக்கும், உம் பெண்மக்களுக்கும் ஈமான் கொண்டவர்களின் பெண்களுக்கும், அவர்கள் தங்கள் தலைமுன்றானைகளைத் தாழ்த்திக் கொள்ளுமாறு கூறுவீராக அவர்கள் (கண்ணியமானவர்கள் என) அறியப்பட்டு நோவினை செய்யப்படாமலிருக்க இது சுலபமான வழியாகும். மேலும் அல்லாஹ் மிக மன்னிப்பவன்; மிக்க அன்புடையவன்.

අහෝ නබිවරය! ඔබ ඔබේ බිරියන්ටත් ඔබේ දූවරුන්ටත් දේවත්වය විශ්වාස කරන්නන්ගේ බිරියන්ටත් ඔවුන්ගේ මොට්ටැක්කිලියෙන් ඔවුන් මත (හිසේ සිට) පහළට ඇද වැටන සේ පළඳිනුයි පවසනු. එය ඔවුන් (ශිලාචාර කාන්තාවන් යැයි) හඳුනා ගැනීමටත් හිංසා කරනු නො ලැබීමටත් වඩාත් උචිත ය. තවද අල්ලාහ් අතික්ෂමාශීලී මහා කරුණාන්විත ය.
UrduMaulana Muhammad Junagarhi
اے نبی! اپنی بیویوں سے اور اپنی صاحبزادیوں سے اور مسلمانوں کی عورتیں سے کہہ دو کہ وه اپنے اوپر اپنی چادریں لٹکا لیا کریں ، اس سے بہت جلد ان کی شناخت ہو جایا کرے گی پھر نہ ستائی جائیں گی، اور اللہ تعالیٰ بخشنے واﻻ مہربان ہے.

預言者よ,あなたの妻,娘たちまた信者の女たちにも,かの女らに長衣を纒うよう告げなさい。それで認められ易く,悩まされなくて済むであろう。アッラーは寛容にして慈悲深くあられる。

先知啊!你应当对你的妻子、你的女儿和信士们的妇女说:她们应当用外衣蒙着自己的身体。这样做最容易使人认识她们,而不受侵犯。真主是至赦的,是至慈的。

The Command of Hijab Here Allah tells His Messenger to command the believing women -- especially his wives and daughters, because of their position of honor -- to draw their Jilbabs over their bodies, so that they will be distinct in their appearance from the women of the Jahiliyyah and from slave women.

Muhammad bin Sirin said, "I asked `Ubaydah As-Salmani about the Ayah: يُدْنِينَ عَلَيْهِنَّ مِن جَلَبِيبِهِنَّ (to draw their Jalabib over their bodies.) He covered his face and head, with just his left eye showing." ذلِكَ أَدْنَى أَن يُعْرَفْنَ فَلاَ يُؤْذَيْنَ (That will be better that they should be known so as not to be annoyed.…
