Ahmed Raza Khan: Mohammed Aqib Qadri:
And We said, "Take a broom in your hand and strike her with it, and do not break your vow"; We indeed found him patiently enduring; what an excellent bondman! He is indeed most inclined.

Yusuf Ali:
"And take in thy hand a little grass, and strike therewith: and break not (thy oath)." Truly We found him full of patience and constancy. How excellent in Our service! ever did he turn (to Us)!

Pickthal:
And (it was said unto him): Take in thine hand a branch and smite therewith, and break not thine oath. Lo! We found him steadfast, how excellent a slave! Lo! he was ever turning in repentance (to his Lord).
