[Machine] "You lied, it is not unlawful for you, then it recites, 'O Prophet, why do you prohibit that which Allah has made lawful for you?' [Surah At-Tahrim 1]. The most severe expiations for you are freeing a slave, uttering words of reconciliation, and it is not mentioned in the narration of Abu Nuaym that the most severe expiations for you are. It has been narrated from him that it is left to your choice, and with this we say."
