﴿ وَٱصْبِرْ عَلَىٰ مَا يَقُولُونَ وَٱهْجُرْهُمْ هَجْرًۭا جَمِيلًۭا ﴾

“and endure with patience whatever people may say [against thee], and avoid them with a comely avoidance.”

(And bear with patience) O Muhammad (what they utter) of vilification and denial, (and part from them with a fair leave-taking) steer clear of them in a fair way, neither grieving nor reciprocating with indecency.
