An Nisa’ Ayah 3

وَإِنْ خِفْتُمْ أَلَّا تُقْسِطُواْ فِى ٱلْيَتَـٰمَىٰ فَٱنكِحُواْ مَا طَابَ لَكُم مِّنَ ٱلنِّسَآءِ مَثْنَىٰ وَثُلَـٰثَ وَرُبَـٰعَ‌ۖ فَإِنْ خِفْتُمْ أَلَّا تَعْدِلُواْ فَوَٲحِدَةً أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَـٰنُكُمْ‌ۚ ذَٲلِكَ أَدْنَىٰٓ أَلَّا تَعُولُواْ ٣ If you fear you might fail to give orphan women their ?due? rights ?if you were to marry them?, then marry other women of your choice—two, three, or four. But if you are afraid you will fail to maintain justice, then ?content yourselves with? one or those ?bondwomen? in your possession. This way you are less likely to commit injustice.
