﴿ إِلَّا ٱمْرَأَتَهُۥ قَدَّرْنَآ ۙ إِنَّهَا لَمِنَ ٱلْغَٰبِرِينَ ﴾

“excepting only his wife, [of whom God says,] `We have ordained [that], behold, she should be among those who stay behind!'”

(Except his wife) his other wife, Wa'ilah the hypocrite, (of whom We had decreed that she should be of those who stay behind) and be destroyed.
