يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ لَا يَسْخَرْ قَوْمٌۭ مِّن قَوْمٍ عَسَىٰٓ أَن يَكُونُوا۟ خَيْرًۭا مِّنْهُمْ وَلَا نِسَآءٌۭ مِّن نِّسَآءٍ عَسَىٰٓ أَن يَكُنَّ خَيْرًۭا مِّنْهُنَّ ۖ وَلَا تَلْمِزُوٓا۟ أَنفُسَكُمْ وَلَا تَنَابَزُوا۟ بِٱلْأَلْقَٰبِ ۖ بِئْسَ ٱلِٱسْمُ ٱلْفُسُوقُ بَعْدَ ٱلْإِيمَٰنِ ۚ وَمَن لَّمْ يَتُبْ فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلظَّٰلِمُونَ

Muhammad Hamidullah · Le Saint Coran, traduction Muhammad Hamidullah

O vous qui avez cru! Qu'un groupe ne se raille pas d'un autre groupe: ceux-ci sont peut-être meilleurs qu'eux. Et que des femmes ne se raillent pas d'autres femmes: celles-ci sont peut-être meilleures qu'elles. Ne vous dénigrez pas et ne vous lancez pas mutuellement des sobriquets (injurieux). Quel vilain mot que «perversion» lorsqu'on a déjà la foi. Et quiconque ne se repent pas... Ceux-là sont les injustes.

Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall · The Meaning of the Glorious Koran (1930)

O ye who believe! Let not a folk deride a folk who may be better than they (are), not let women (deride) women who may be better than they are; neither defame one another, nor insult one another by nicknames. Bad is the name of lewdness after faith. And whoso turneth not in repentance, such are evil-doers.
