Al-Furqaan • EN-TAFSIR-IBN-ABBAS
﴿ وَعِبَادُ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلَّذِينَ يَمْشُونَ عَلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ هَوْنًۭا وَإِذَا خَاطَبَهُمُ ٱلْجَٰهِلُونَ قَالُوا۟ سَلَٰمًۭا ﴾
“For, [true] servants of the Most Gracious are [only] they who walk gently on earth, and who, whenever the foolish address them, reply with [words of] peace;”
(The (faithful) slaves of the Beneficent) the elite of the Beneficent (are they who walk upon the earth modestly) with humility from the fear of Allah, (and when the foolish ones) the disbelievers and sinners (address them answer: Peace) they answer with that which is good and say only nice words;
