24:8

وَيَدْرَؤُا۟ عَنْهَا ٱلْعَذَابَ أَن تَشْهَدَ أَرْبَعَ شَهَـٰدَٰتٍۭ بِٱللَّهِ ۙ إِنَّهُۥ لَمِنَ ٱلْكَـٰذِبِينَ

wayadra-u ʿanhā l-ʿadhāba an tashhada arbaʿa shahādātin bil-lahi innahu lamina l-kādhibīna

But it will prevent punishment from her if she gives four testimonies [swearing] by Allāh that indeed, he is of the liars.

— Saheeh International

punishment shall be averted from his wife if she in turn four times calls God to witness that her husband is lying

— M. A. S. Abdel Haleem

But it shall avert the punishment (of stoning to death) from her, if she bears witness four times by Allâh, that he (her husband) is telling a lie.
