An-Nur 24:26

Word by word

ٱلْخَبِيثَـٰتُ لِلْخَبِيثِينَ وَٱلْخَبِيثُونَ لِلْخَبِيثَـٰتِ ۖ وَٱلطَّيِّبَـٰتُ لِلطَّيِّبِينَ وَٱلطَّيِّبُونَ لِلطَّيِّبَـٰتِ ۚ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ مُبَرَّءُونَ مِمَّا يَقُولُونَ ۖ لَهُم مَّغْفِرَةٌ وَرِزْقٌ كَرِيمٌ

Evil words are for evil men, and evil men are [subjected] to evil words. And good words are for good men, and good men are [an object] of good words. Those [good people] are declared innocent of what they [i.e., slanderers] say. For them is forgiveness and noble provision.

كل خبيث من الرجال والنساء والأقوال والأفعال مناسب للخبيث وموافق له، وكل طيِّب من الرجال والنساء والأقوال والأفعال مناسب للطيب وموافق له، والطيبون والطيبات مبرؤون مما يرميهم به الخبيثون من السوء، لهم من الله مغفرة تستغرق الذنوب، ورزق كريم في الجنة.
