فبما رحمة من الله لنت لهم ولو كنت فظا غليظ القلب لانفضوا من حولك فاعف عنهم واستغفر لهم وشاورهم في الامر فاذا عزمت فتوكل على الله ان الله يحب المتوكلين

It is part of the Mercy Of God that thou dost deal Gently with them. Wert thou severe Or harsh-hearted, They would have broken away From about thee: so pass over (Their faults), and ask For (God's) forgiveness For them; and consult Them in affairs (of moment). Then, when thou hast Taken a decision, Put thy trust in God. For God loves those Who put their trust (in Him).
