Al-Isra 17:28 واما تعرضن عنهم ابتغاء رحمة من ربك ترجوها فقل لهم قولا ميسورا ٢٨
وَإِمَّا
تُعۡرِضَنَّ
عَنۡهُمُ
ٱبۡتِغَآءَ
رَحۡمَةٖ
مِّن
رَّبِّكَ
تَرۡجُوهَا
فَقُل
لَّهُمۡ
قَوۡلٗا
مَّيۡسُورٗا
٢٨
And if you [must] turn away from them [i.e., the needy] awaiting mercy from your Lord which you expect,1 then speak to them a gentle word.
— Saheeh International
But if you must turn them down ˹because you lack the means to give˺—while hoping to receive your Lord’s bounty—then ˹at least˺ give them a kind word.
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, The Clear Quran
