  • فَٱصْبِرْ كَمَا صَبَرَ أُو۟لُوا۟ ٱلْعَزْمِ مِنَ ٱلرُّسُلِ وَلَا تَسْتَعْجِل لَّهُمْ كَأَنَّهُمْ يَوْمَ يَرَوْنَ مَا يُوعَدُونَ لَمْ يَلْبَثُوٓا۟ إِلَّا سَاعَةً مِّن نَّهَارٍۭ بَلَٰغٌ فَهَلْ يُهْلَكُ إِلَّا ٱلْقَوْمُ ٱلْفَٰسِقُونَ

    So be patient, [O Muhammad], as were those of determination among the messengers and do not be impatient for them. It will be - on the Day they see that which they are promised…

  • فَٱرْتَقِبْ إِنَّهُم مُّرْتَقِبُونَ

    So watch, [O Muhammad]; indeed, they are watching [for your end].

  • فَأَعْرِضْ عَنْهُمْ وَٱنتَظِرْ إِنَّهُم مُّنتَظِرُونَ

    So turn away from them and wait. Indeed, they are waiting.

  • هَلْ يَنظُرُونَ إِلَّا ٱلسَّاعَةَ أَن تَأْتِيَهُم بَغْتَةً وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ

    Are they waiting except for the Hour to come upon them suddenly while they perceive not?

  • فَتَوَلَّ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ

    So, [O Muhammad], leave them for a time.

  • وَلَمَن صَبَرَ وَغَفَرَ إِنَّ ذَٰلِكَ لَمِنْ عَزْمِ ٱلْأُمُورِ

    And whoever is patient and forgives - indeed, that is of the matters [requiring] determination.
