Translation

[We said], "And take in your hand a bunch [of grass] and strike with it and do not break your oath."1 Indeed, We found him patient, an excellent servant. Indeed, he was one repeatedly turning back [to Allāh].
Footnotes
1 - At a point during his illness, Job became angry with his wife and swore that if he recovered, he would punish her with one hundred lashes. According to Allāh's instruction, the oath was fulfilled by striking her once with one hundred blades of grass.

Tafsir

And [We said to him], 'Take in your hand a bunch of twigs, or some blades of grass, and smite therewith, your wife - for he had sworn to smite her a hundred times on one occasion when she was late in coming to him - and do not break [your] oath', by not smiting her: so he took a hundred rushes and smote her with them once [and that sufficed to fulfil his oath]. Truly We found him to be steadfast. What an excellent servant!, [was] Joibn Indeed he was a penitent [soul], always returning to God, exalted be He.
