عَاقَبْتُمْ

فَعَاقِبُوْا

بِمِثْلِ

مَا

عُوْقِبْتُمْ

بِهٖ ؕ

وَلَىِٕنْ

صَبَرْتُمْ

لَهُوَ

خَیْرٌ

  And if you punish (your enemy, O you believers in the Oneness of Allâh), then punish them with the like of that with which you were afflicted. But if you endure patiently, verily, it is better for As-Sâbirûn (the patient).¹
