عُوقِبۡتُم
you were afflicted
بِهِۦۖ
with [it]

But if
صَبَرۡتُمۡ
you are patient
لَهُوَ
surely (it) is
خَيۡرٞ
better
لِّلصَّـٰبِرِينَ
for those who are patient

Tafsir

After Hamza [ibn 'Abd al-Muttalib] had been killed and mutilated, and the Prophet may peace and salutation be upon him had seen him and said, 'Verily I will mutilate 70 of them for you', the following was revealed: And if you retaliate, retaliate with the like of what you have been made to suffer; and yet if you endure patiently, [refraining] from revenge, verily that, namely, [that] enduring, is better for the patient. Thus the Prophet may peace and salutation be upon him refrained [from taking revenge] and made atonement for his oath, as reported by al-Bazzaar.
