Qur'an 86:17 At-Tariq

فَمَهِّلِ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًۢا

So allow time for the disbelievers. Leave them awhile.

What it says

The instruction that closes the surah is not a counterattack. Having just been told that the plotting is already answered from above, the Prophet ﷺ is told to do nothing about it and wait, and the waiting is handed to him with a short measure attached.

Word by word

فَمَهِّلِ fa-mahhili so grant respite to · ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ al-kāfirīna those who deny · أَمْهِلْهُمْ amhilhum give them time · رُوَيْدًا ruwaydā a little while
