Tafheem ul Quran
Surah 3 Ali 'Imran, Ayat 159-159
فَبِمَا رَحۡمَةٍ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ لِنۡتَ لَهُمۡۚ وَلَوۡ كُنۡتَ فَظًّا غَلِيۡظَ الۡقَلۡبِ لَانْفَضُّوۡا مِنۡ حَوۡلِكَ فَاعۡفُ عَنۡهُمۡ وَاسۡتَغۡفِرۡ لَهُمۡ وَشَاوِرۡهُمۡ فِى الۡاَمۡرِۚ فَاِذَا عَزَمۡتَ فَتَوَكَّلۡ عَلَى اللّٰهِؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ يُحِبُّ الۡمُتَوَكِّلِيۡنَ
﴿3:159﴾
(3:159) It was thanks to Allah's mercy that you were gentle to them. Had
you been rough, hard-hearted, they would surely have scattered away from you.
So pardon them, and pray for their forgiveness, and take counsel from them in
matters of importance. And when you are resolved on a course of action place
your trust in Allah; surely Allah loves those who put their trust (in Him).
