Al-Muzzammil 73:10–11
Be patient with them
وَٱصْبِرْ عَلَىٰ مَا يَقُولُونَ وَٱهْجُرْهُمْ هَجْرًۭا جَمِيلًۭا ١٠ وَذَرْنِى وَٱلْمُكَذِّبِينَ أُو۟لِى ٱلنَّعْمَةِ وَمَهِّلْهُمْ قَلِيلًا ١١
The meaning, simply
Be patient with what the idolaters say, and keep away from them in a gracious way, without taking revenge. Leave Me to deal with the deniers who live in comfort, and give them a little time.
