and it was by gods grace that thou didst deal gently with thy followers for if thou hadst been harsh and hard of heart they would indeed have broken away from thee. pardon them then and pray that they be forgiven. and take counsel with them in all matters of public concern then when thou hast decided upon a course of action place thy trust in god for verily god loves those who place their trust in him.
فبما رحمة من الله لنت لهم ولو كنت فظا غليظ القلب لانفضوا من حولك فاعف عنهم واستغفر لهم وشاورهم في الأمر فإذا عزمت فتوكل على الله إن الله يحب المتوكلين
