اللَّهَ
لَعَفُوٌّ
غَفُورٌ
dhālika wa-man ʿāqaba bi-mithli mā ʿūqiba bihī thumma bughiya ʿalayhi la-yanṣurannahu llāhu ʾinna llāha la-ʿafuwwun ghafūrun
So will it be; and whoever retaliates with the like of what he has been made to suffer, and is aggressed against [again] thereafter, Allah will surely help him. Indeed Allah is all-excusing, all-forgiving.
— Ali Quli Qarai
That (is so). And if one has retaliated to no greater extent than the injury he received, and is again set upon inordinately, Allah will help him: for Allah is One that blots out (sins) and forgives (again and again).
