thus it is due to mercy from allah that you deal with them gently and had you been rough hard hearted they would certainly have dispersed from around you pardon them therefore and ask pardon for them and take counsel with them in the affair so when you have decided then place your trust in allah surely allah loves those who trust.
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
