as for them god knows all that is in their hearts so leave them alone and admonish them and speak unto them about themselves in a gravely search­ing manner for we have never sent any apostle save that he should be heeded by gods leave. if then after having sinned against themselves they would but come round to thee and ask god to forgive them with the apostle too praying that they be forgiven they would assuredly find that god is an acceptor of repentance a dispenser of grace.
أولئك الذين يعلم الله ما في قلوبهم فأعرض عنهم وعظهم وقل لهم في أنفسهم قولا بليغا وما أرسلنا من رسول إلا ليطاع بإذن الله ولو أنهم إذ ظلموا أنفسهم جاءوك فاستغفروا الله واستغفر لهم الرسول لوجدوا الله توابا رحيما
