فَبِما رَحمَةٍ مِنَ اللَّهِ لِنتَ لَهُم ۖ وَلَو كُنتَ فَظًّا غَليظَ القَلبِ لَانفَضّوا مِن حَولِكَ ۖ فَاعفُ عَنهُم وَاستَغفِر لَهُم وَشاوِرهُم فِي الأَمرِ ۖ فَإِذا عَزَمتَ فَتَوَكَّل عَلَى اللَّهِ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ المُتَوَكِّلينَ

Due to the Mercy of God, you were gentle with them. Had you been harsh and hard-hearted, they would’ve dispersed from around you. So forgive them, pray for their forgiveness, and consult with them in the matter. Once you’ve decided, put your trust in God. God loves those who trust.
