Al-Ahzab 51

تُرْج۪ي مَنْ تَشَٓاءُ مِنْهُنَّ وَتُـْٔو۪ٓي اِلَيْكَ مَنْ تَشَٓاءُۜ وَمَنِ ابْتَغَيْتَ مِمَّنْ عَزَلْتَ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْكَۜ ذٰلِكَ اَدْنٰٓى اَنْ تَقَرَّ اَعْيُنُهُنَّ وَلَا يَحْزَنَّ وَيَرْضَيْنَ بِمَٓا اٰتَيْتَهُنَّ كُلُّهُنَّۜ وَاللّٰهُ يَعْلَمُ مَا ف۪ي قُلُوبِكُمْۜ وَكَانَ اللّٰهُ عَل۪يمًا حَل۪يمًا ۝٥١

51—O Prophet, you may keep away for a time from whichever of your wives you wish, and take to you whichever you wish. There is no blame on you if you wish to be again with a wife from whom you kept away for a time. This conduct of yours will ensure that they are happy, that they do not grieve when attention to them lessens, and that they are content and satisfied with the time and attention you give them. Allah knows the feelings and thoughts that pass through your hearts. And Allah knows all things and does not hasten to punish for bad thoughts and feelings.
