وَإِمَّا And if تُعْرِضَنَّ you turn away عَنْهُمُ from them ٱبْتِغَآءَ seeking رَحْمَةٍۢ mercy مِّن from رَّبِّكَ your Lord تَرْجُوهَا which you expect فَقُل then say لَّهُمْ to them قَوْلًۭا a word مَّيْسُورًۭا gentle ٢٨
And if you [must] turn away from them [i.e., the needy] awaiting mercy from your Lord which you expect, then speak to them a gentle word.
