يَا أَيُّهَا
النَّبِيُّ
قُل
لِّمَن

أَيْدِيكُم

إِن
يَعْلَمِ
اللَّهُ
فِي
قُلُوبِكُمْ
خَيْرًا
يُؤْتِكُمْ
خَيْرًا
مِّمَّا
أُخِذَ
مِنكُمْ
وَيَغْفِرْ
لَكُمْ
وَاللَّهُ
غَفُورٌ
رَّحِيمٌ

O Prophet! Say to the captives who are in your hands, ‘If Allah finds any good in your hearts, He will give you [something which is] better than what has been taken away from you, and He will forgive you, and Allah is all-forgiving, all-merciful.’
— Ali Quli Qarai
O Prophet! say to those who are captives in your hands: "If Allah findeth any good in your hearts, He will give you something better than what has been taken from you, and He will forgive you: for Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful."
