The Prophet is closer to the believers than they themselves, and his wives are their mothers. But those of kinship are closer to one another in the Writ of God than are the believers and the émigrés, save that you do what is fitting to your allies; this is in the Writ inscribed.

The Prophet more right to the muminun than their own selves, and his wives are their mothers. But blood-relations have more rights to one another in the Book of Allah than the muminun and Muhajirun. All the same you should act correctly by your friends; that is inscribed in the Book.

All this is recorded in this well-written and well-scored Book. (2:180,) (4:11), (9:111), (33:53), (48:10).

The Prophet is closer to the faithful than they are themselves; and his wives are as their mothers.

This is inscribed in the Book (of decrees).

The Prophet is more closely attached to those who conformed to Islam than they are to themselves and his wives are their mothers.

The relationship bond between the Prophet (Mohammad) and the believers is superior to the relationship bond between them and any of their relatives. The Wives of the Prophet must be respected by the believers the same way that they respect their own mother. In accordance with the Lord’s scripture, the blood relationship has superiority over other relationships However, there is nothing wrong in showing kindness to your friends This is written in the Book of God.
The Prophet is closer to the believers than their ownselves, and his wives are their (believers’) mothers (as regards respect and marriage). And blood relations among each other have closer personal ties in the Decree of Allâh (regarding inheritance) than (the brotherhood of) the believers and the Muhâjirûn (emigrants from Makkah), except that you do kindness to those brothers (when the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم joined them in brotherhood ties).

The prophet is nigher unto the true believers than their own souls; and his wives are their mothers. Those who are related by consanguinity are nigher of kin the one of them unto the others, according to the book of God, than the other true believers, and the Mohâjerûn: Unless that ye do what is fitting and reasonable to your relations in general.
