I took Mukhallad captive, then pardoned him.

And in God's sight, the forbearance I showed is good.
And with God what I intended was good.

وقومي كل ذلكم كفيت
Muzaynah were with him, and the Jews of Qararā;
Adorned in his view are my tribe and kinsmen,
And I shielded my people from all of them.
As for his people, all that I eschewed.
