وَإِمَّا
تُعْرِضَنَّ
عَنْهُمُ
ابْتِغَاءَ
رَحْمَةٍ
مِّن
رَّبِّكَ
تَرْجُوهَا
فَقُل
لَّهُمْ
قَوْلًا
مَّيْسُورًا

And even if thou hast to turn away from them in pursuit of the Mercy from thy Lord which thou dost expect, yet speak to them a word of easy kindness.
— Abdullah Yusufali
And if you have to hold off from [assisting] them [for now], seeking your Lord’s mercy which you expect [in the future], speak to them gentle words.
