It is by God's grace that you were gentle with them -- for if you had been harsh and hard-hearted, 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.
پس به [بركت‌] رحمت الهى، با آنان نرمخو [و پُرمِهر] شدى، و اگر تندخو و سختدل بودى قطعاً از پيرامون تو پراكنده مى‌شدند. پس، از آنان درگذر و برايشان آمرزش بخواه، و در كار[ها] با آنان مشورت كن، و چون تصميم گرفتى بر خدا توكل كن، زيرا خداوند توكل‌كنندگان را دوست مى‌دارد.
