Qur'an 64:14 At-Taghabun
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ إِنَّ مِنْ أَزْوَٰجِكُمْ وَأَوْلَٰدِكُمْ عَدُوًّۭا لَّكُمْ فَٱحْذَرُوهُمْ ۚ وَإِن تَعْفُوا۟ وَتَصْفَحُوا۟ وَتَغْفِرُوا۟ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورٌۭ رَّحِيمٌ
O you who have believed, indeed, among your wives and your children are enemies to you, so beware of them. But if you pardon and overlook and forgive - then indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.

What it says
Believers are told that an enemy to their commitment can sit inside their own household, among spouses and children rather than outside it. The instruction is caution, not separation: the same sentence turns at once to pardon, overlooking, and forgiveness as the better response, and pairs that choice with Allah's own forgiveness and mercy.
