and by the mercy of allah you dealt with them gently. and had you been severe and harshhearted they would have broken away from about you so pardon them and ask forgiveness for them and consult them in the affairs. then when you have taken a decision put your trust in allah certainly allah loves those who put their 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
