In the name of Allah , 

the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful.

So by mercy from Allah , [O Muhammad], 

you were lenient with them. 

And if you had been rude [in speech] 

and harsh in heart, 

they would have disbanded from about you. 

So pardon them and 

ask forgiveness for them 

and consult them in the matter. 

And when you have decided, 

then rely upon Allah . 

Indeed, Allah loves those who rely [upon Him].
