The Koran (Al-Qur'an) CHAPTER XII. / IN THE NAME OF THE MOST MERCIFUL GOD. / CHAPTER XIII. / IN THE NAME OF THE MOST MERCIFUL GOD.; lines 21167-21181 confidence: medium
A note says the passage answered reproaches against Mohammed over his many wives; Jews allegedly said a true prophet would focus on matters other than women and children, and a Jewish maxim is cited that carnality is repugnant to prophecy.
