At-Tariq 86:15–17
Give them time
إِنَّهُمْ يَكِيدُونَ كَيْدًۭا ١٥ وَأَكِيدُ كَيْدًۭا ١٦ فَمَهِّلِ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًۢا ١٧
The meaning, simply
The deniers are plotting to push back the truth, and Allah is planning to make the truth win. So do not hurry against them, O Prophet, peace be upon him; give them a little time.
