وَإِنْ
عَاقَبْتُمْ
فَعَاقِبُوا
بِمِثْلِ
مَا
عُوقِبْتُم
بِهِ
وَلَئِن
صَبَرْتُمْ
لَهُوَ
خَيْرٌ
لِّلصَّابِرِينَ
wa-ʾin ʿāqabtum fa-ʿāqibū bi-mithli mā ʿūqibtum bihī wa-la-ʾin ṣabartum la-huwa khayrun li-ṣ-ṣābirīna
If you want retaliation, let it be equal to that which you faced. But if you exercise patience it will be better for you.
