Surah Aal-Imran, Verse 159
فَبِمَا رَحْمَةٍ مِّنَ اللَّهِ لِنتَ لَهُمْ ۖ وَلَوْ كُنتَ فَظًّا غَلِيظَ الْقَلْبِ لَانفَضُّوا مِنْ حَوْلِكَ فَاعْفُ عَنْهُمْ وَاسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ وَشَاوِرْهُمْ فِي الْأَمْرِ...
"So by mercy from Allah, you were gentle with them. And if you had been harsh and hard-hearted, they would have dispersed from around you. So pardon them, ask forgiveness for them, and consult them in the matter..."

تو اللہ کی رحمت سے آپ ان کے ساتھ نرم ہو گئے، اور اگر آپ سخت مزاج اور تند دل ہوتے تو وہ آپ کے گرد سے منتشر ہو جاتے۔ پس انہیں معاف کیجئے، ان کے لیے مغفرت مانگیے، اور معاملات میں ان سے مشورہ کیجئے...
Explanation
Leadership is rooted in mercy, forgiveness, and shura. Gentleness gathers hearts; harshness scatters them.
Context
After Uhud, this ethic rebuilt morale and unity.
