58:3

وَالَّذٖینَ یُظَاهِرُونَ مِنْ نِسَٓائِهِمْ ثُمَّ یَعُودُونَ لِمَا قَالُوا فَتَحْرٖیرُ رَقَبَةٍ مِنْ قَبْلِ اَنْ یَتَمَٓاسَّاؕ ذٰلِكُمْ تُوعَظُونَ بِهٖؕ وَاللّٰهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبٖیرٌ

Waallatheena yuthahiroona min nisaihim thumma yaAAoodoona lima qaloo fatahreeru raqabatin min qabli an yatamassa thalikum tooAAathoona bihi waAllahu bima taAAmaloona khabeerun

Translations

And those who pronounce thihar from their wives and then [wish to] go back on what they said - then [there must be] the freeing of a slave before they touch one another. That is what you are admonished thereby; and Allah is Acquainted with what you do

Saheeh International

Those who put away their wives (by saying they are as their mothers) and afterward would go back on that which they have said, (the penalty) in that case (is) the freeing of a slave before they touch one another. Unto this ye are exhorted; and Allah is Informed of what ye do
