Peace agent,
But these words do not appear in the arabic - or show them how?
so it should have been something
Now this fits very well as follows , look to the context of the whole
The believers must (eventually) win through
Those who humble themselves in their prayers
Who avoid vain talk;
Who are active in deeds of charity;
Who abstain from sex
Except with their partners or (rather) whom they posses by hands/oaths,- for then they are free from blame.And no slaves for sex as that isn't allowed any where in the holy scripture.
The pagans made it up for enjoyment - cunning wasn't it?
Peace and understanding be with you too.

Salaam Alaikum agent and all ..
Don't confuse yourselves with a pile of translations, just follow Pickthall. His works have been recognized as the best and most literal.
JazekAllah khair ..P.S. brother agent .. I think there's a typing error in your signature.

"just follow Pickthall"
arn't we allowed to weigh and consider and follow the best thereof.

Absolutely .. and Pickthall is most commonly recognized as the best.

If Quran allowed sex with slaves than its also allowing slavery.....this doesnt sound right to me. A nice excuse to have so many sexual partners...........I dont understand why muslims accuse ppl if they have gf/bf or sex before marriage between couples.
Why dont we just get straight..!!! sex is ok between two person who are willing to share their body with each other thru understanding. Forget abt all these institutional marriage. where is the harm here?
here is the harm

PREMARITAL SEX AND THE DYING NUCLEAR FAMILY
This paper examines the relationship between society's greater acceptance attitudes towards premarital sex since the 1960s, the breakdown of the traditional U.S nuclear family, and the rise in female-headed single parent households.
It presents this increase in permissiveness towards premarital sex and the accompanying practice changes as causal links to the increase in the divorce rate and the feminization of poverty
The research is also extended to include status of women and children, juvenile delinquency, and shallower relationships at all levels in society.
The research model follows a logico-empirical path analysis, similar to the what the "path" that the Koran suggests while discussing non-marital sex (Koran 179).

you can translate it in what ever way you want/can, or or whom they posses by hands/oaths but the message is very clear I.e. that they were allowed to have sex with someone other then their wives.
SAVE FROM THEIR WIVES OR ??? so the question is who were these others? will you please explain your understanding of this verse?peace.

Sis Thank you very much for pointing it out
This is yousaf ali`s translation of 2263 I copied from a cd ?ALIM?KING WORDS and the covering of faults are better than charity followed by injury. Allah is free of all wants and he is Most Forbearing.
And guess what? This is yousaf ali`s translation of the same verse but from some other source.
KIND WORDS and the covering of faults are better than charity followed by injury. Allah is free of all wants, and He is Most-Forbearing.
And this is how others have translated it
PICKTHALL
A KIND WORD with forgiveness is better than almsgiving followed by injury. Allah is Absolute, Clement.KHAN
KIND WORDS and forgiving of faults are better than Sadaqah (charity) followed by injury. And Allah is Rich (Free of all wants) and He is Most- Forbearing.MAULANA
A KIND WORD with forgiveness is better than charity followed by injury. And Allah is Self-sufficient, Forbearing.PICKTHAL
A KIND WORD with forgiveness is better than almsgiving followed by injury. Allah is Absolute, Clement.RASHAD
KIND WORDS and compassion are better than a charity that is followed by insult. GOD is Rich, Clement.SHAKIR
KIND SPEECH and forgiveness is better than charity followed by injury; and Allah is Self-sufficient, Forbearing.SHERALI
A KIND WORD and forgiveness are better than charity followed by injury. And ALLAH is Self-Sufficient, Forbearing.So you are absolutely right, it is ?kind words? )

Islam Q&A (www.islam-qa.com)
Question
At the present time, is it Halal to have a sexual intercourse with your Loundi (a female prisoner of war) without getting married to her?.Answer
Praise be to Allaah.
It is not permissible for a man to have intercourse with anyone except his wife or his female slave (concubine). A wife becomes permissible after shar?i marriage and a concubine becomes permissible to the man who owns her. She may originally be a prisoner of war, and a Muslim may obtain a concubine from the ruler or commander if he took part in fighting in jihad, or if he buys her from her owner. She becomes permissible for him by virtue of his ownership after it is established that she is not pregnant by waiting for one menstrual cycle, or until she has given birth if she is pregnant.Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning)
?And those who guard their chastity (i.e. private parts, from illegal sexual acts)
6. Except from their wives or (the slaves) that their right hands possess, for then, they are free from blame?It was narrated that Abu Sa?eed al-Khudri said The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, concerning the prisoners of Awtaas ?Do not have intercourse with a pregnant woman until she gives birth, or with one who is not pregnant until she has menstruated once.? Narrated by Abu Dawood, 2157. This hadeeth was classed as saheeh by Shaykh al-Albaani in Irwa? al-Ghaleel, 187.

Written by al-Khudayr (www.islam-qa.com)Question
I've heard that it is allowed for men to have intercourse with their slaves. Does that stand for women too, & if men can have intercourse with their slaves (the ones they have bought) then why is it so much ill thought of the prostitutes...they too are, kind of bought at others will, for shorter time period perhaps. Can you make all this clear & why is it so that Islam did not stop slavery....they are humans as well, & are against their will kept in captivity & against their will may be forced into intercourse?Answer
Praise be to Allaah.
Slavery in Islam was originally prescribed because of Kufr. If there is jihaad between the Muslims and the kuffaar, and a number of kuffaar are taken prisoner, the commander is given the choice of sharing them out, doing them a favour (by releasing them) or paying their ransom. If they are shared out as part of the booty, they become slaves, subject to the laws governing products which may be sold. But at the same time, Islam urges the freeing of slaves and makes doing so an act of expiation for numerous sins. In principle, slavery is not something that is desirable; what is encouraged in Islam is the freeing of slaves. If a woman is enslaved according to sharee?ah, it is permissible for her master to have intercourse with her. This is unlike prostitution or zinaa, which Islam has forbidden as a precaution against mixing lineages and other reasons for which it is forbidden. There is no comparison between the two, because if a slave woman becomes pregnant, the child belongs to the master and she becomes free when he dies, because she has become the mother of the master?s child (umm walad), and is subject to the same rulings as a wife. And Allaah knows best.peace.

Islam Q&A (www.islam-qa.com)Question
What is a right hand servant? Do you have to be married to have one? How can you finalize it and get one and state this person as your right hand servant?.Answer
Praise be to Allaah.
Firstly
If Allaah enables the Muslim mujahideen to defeat kaafir enemies in war, then the men may be killed, ransomed, set free without ransom or enslaved. The choice between these four options is to be made by the ruler, according to what he thinks is the best course.With regard to the women, they become slaves and ?those whom one's right hand possesses? (described as a ?right hand servant? in the question). Male children also become slaves. The ruler shares out these slaves among the mujaahideen.
Shaykh al-Shanqeeti (may Allaah have mercy on him) said The reason why a person may be taken as a slave is his being a kaafir and waging war against Allaah and His Messenger. If Allaah enables the Muslims who are striving and sacrificing their lives and their wealth and all that Allaah has given them to make the word of Allaah supreme over the kaafirs, then He allows them to enslave the kuffaar when they capture them, unless the ruler chooses to free them or to ransom them, if that serves the interests of the Muslims.
Adwa? al-Bayaan, 3/387
Islam limited the sources of slaves which existed before the mission of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) to just one source, namely slavery resulting from capturing prisoners from among the kuffaar.Islam treated female slaves more kindly in their enslavement than other cultures did. Their honour was not considered to be permissible to anyone by way of prostitution, which was the fate of female prisoners of war in most cases. Rather Islam made them the property of their masters alone, and forbade anyone else to also have intercourse with them, even if that was his son. Islam made it their right to become free through a contract of manumission; it encouraged setting them free and promised reward for that. Islam made setting slaves free an obligation in the case of some kinds of expiation (kafaarah), such as the expiation for accidental killing, zihaar (a jaahili form of divorce in which a man said to his wife, ?You are to me as my mother?s back?), and breaking oaths. They received the best treatment from their masters, as was enjoined by the pure sharee?ah.
Secondly
A mujaahid does not have to be married in order to gain possession of a ?slave whom one?s right hand possesses.? None of the scholars expressed such a view.Thirdly
If a mujaahid takes possession of a female slave or male slave, it is permissible for him to sell them. In either case ? whether one acquires a slave through battle or through purchase ? it is not permissible for a man to have intercourse with a female slave until she has had a period from which it may be ascertained that she is not pregnant. If she is pregnant then he must wait until she gives birth.It was narrated that Ruwayfi? ibn Thaabit al-Ansaari said I heard the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say on the day of Hunayn ?It is not permissible for any man who believes in Allaah and the Last Day to irrigate the crop of another else ? meaning to have intercourse with a woman who is pregnant. And it is not permissible for a man who believes in Allaah and the Last Day to have intercourse with a captured woman until he has established that she is not pregnant. And it is not permissible for a man who believes in Allaah and the Last Day to sell any booty until it has been shared out.?
Narrated by Abu Dawood, 2158; classed as hasan by Shaykh al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood, 1890.
For many reasons, including the fact that the Muslims have long since given up jihad, slavery is now very rare. This means that the Muslims must be extra cautious by examining any case in which it is claimed that someone is a slave, whether male or female.And Allaah knows best.
peace.
