it is by gods grace that you were gentle with them for if you had been harsh and hardhearted they would surely have deserted you so bear with them and pray for forgiveness for them. take counsel with them in the conduct of affairs then when you have decided upon a course of action place your trust in god for 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
