(So give a respite to the disbelievers. Deal thou gently with them for a while) give them a while until the Day of Badr'.
Al-Jalalayn Commentary
So respite O Muhammad (s) the disbelievers; grant them respite reiterated as an emphasis one enhanced by the use of a different form mahhil amhil that is to say put them off for a little ruwaydā is a verbal noun emphasising the import of the operator and is the diminutive form of rūd or irwad with shortening of final consonant ruwaydan ruwaydā. Surely enough God exalted be He seized them at Badr and abrogated the dispensation of ‘granting respite’ by the ‘sword’ verse in other words by the command to fight and struggle.
