  • 609–632 CE, Qur'an, 4:25:
    وَمَن لَّمْ يَسْتَطِعْ مِنكُمْ طَوْلاً أَن يَنكِحَ الْمُحْصَنَاتِ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ فَمِن مَّا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُكُم مِّن فَتَيَاتِكُمُ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِإِيمَانِكُمْ بَعْضُكُم مِّن بَعْضٍ فَانكِحُوهُنَّ بِإِذْنِ أَهْلِهِنَّ وَآتُوهُنَّ أُجُورَهُنَّ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ مُحْصَنَاتٍ غَيْرَ مُسَافِحَاتٍ وَلَا مُتَّخِذَاتِ أَخْدَانٍ فَإِذَا أُحْصِنَّ فَإِنْ أَتَيْنَ بِفَاحِشَةٍ فَعَلَيْهِنَّ نِصْفُ مَا عَلَى الْمُحْصَنَاتِ مِنَ الْعَذَابِ ذَلِكَ لِمَنْ خَشِيَ الْعَنَتَ مِنكُمْ وَأَن تَصْبِرُواْ خَيْرٌ لَّكُمْ وَاللَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ
    Now, whoever of you cannot wed the chaste and the faithful, let it be ones from what your right hands possess, from the slave girls among you. Allah knows best of your faithfulness. You may wed these ones with their keepers' consent, bringing them their remuneration, chaste ones, neither licentious nor takers of bedmates. Once screened thus, if they commit vileness, theirs is a scourging, half of that for freewomen. This is there for anyone of you dreading hardship, though to wait is better for you. Allah is all-forgiving, all-merciful.
  • 609–632 CE, Qur'an, 5:5:
    الْيَوْمَ أُحِلَّ لَكُمُ الطَّيِّبَاتُ وَطَعَامُ الَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ الْكِتَابَ حِلٌّ لَّكُمْ وَطَعَامُكُمْ حِلُّ لَّهُمْ وَالْمُحْصَنَاتُ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ وَالْمُحْصَنَاتُ مِنَ الَّذِينَ أُوتُواْ الْكِتَابَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ إِذَا آتَيْتُمُوهُنَّ أُجُورَهُنَّ مُحْصِنِينَ غَيْرَ مُسَافِحِينَ وَلَا مُتَّخِذِي أَخْدَانٍ وَمَن يَكْفُرْ بِالإِيمَانِ فَقَدْ حَبِطَ عَمَلُهُ وَهُوَ فِي الآخِرَةِ مِنَ الْخَاسِرِينَ
    al-yawma ʔuḥilla lakumu ṭ-ṭayyibātu waṭaʕāmu allaḏīna ʔūtuw al-kitāba ḥillun llakum waṭaʕāmukum ḥillu llahum wālmuḥṣanātu mina l-muʔmināti wālmuḥṣanātu mina allaḏīna ʔūtuw al-kitāba min qablikum ʔiḏā ʔātaytumūhunna ʔujūrahunna muḥṣinīna ḡayra musāfiḥīna walā muttaḵiḏī ʔaḵdānin waman yakfur bi-l-ʔīmāni faqad ḥabiṭa ʕamaluhu wahuwa fī l-ʔāḵirati mina l-ḵāsirīna
    This day, wholesome things have been made lawful to you. The food of the People of the Book is lawful to you, and your food is lawful to them, and so are the chaste from among the believers and the chaste from among those who were given given the Book before you, if you give them their remuneration, as chaste men, neither licentious nor takers of bedmates. Whoever disbelieves the Faith, his work will drain away, and on the Last Day, he will be among the losers.
  • a. 1941, فؤاد بليبل, بين الشرقِ والغرب:
    لَا تظنَّ الغربَ صَبًّا مفتَتِن
    بِكَ،... فالغربُ وَلوع بفَناكا
    أو تَخَلْهُ خِدنكَ الكاسي المَرِنْ
    Don’t think the West some youth crumbling with thee
    For the West is eager to vie, or deem
    him a glib geezer finessing your brew
