وَقَالَ تَعَالَى وَالَّذِينَ لَا يَدْعُونَ مَعَ اللهِ إِلَهًا آخَرَ وَلَا يَقْتُلُونَ النَّفْسَ الَّتِي حَرَّمَ اللهُ إِلَّا بِالْحَقِّ وَلَا يَزْنُونَ
And the Exalted said: And those who do not call upon any other god with Allah, and do not take the life which Allah has forbidden except for a just cause, and do not commit adultery.
يَزْنُونَ — they commit adultery. A present-tense verb 'commit adultery' with a built-in third-person plural 'they'. Negated by the preceding 'nor', it gives 'nor do they fornicate'. The plural ending carries the subject, closing the run of virtues that mark these people.
