وَمَا خَلَقْنَا ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ وَمَا بَيْنَهُمَآ إِلَّا بِٱلْحَقِّ ۗ وَإِنَّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ لَءَاتِيَةٌۭ ۖ فَٱصْفَحِ ٱلصَّفْحَ ٱلْجَمِيلَ
And We have not created the heavens and earth and that between them except in truth. And indeed, the Hour is coming; so forgive with gracious forgiveness.

We did not create the heavens and the earth and all that is between them save with the Truth. And truly the Hour shall come without doubt whereupon every person will be requited according to his deeds. So be forgiving O Muhammad (s) to your people with gracious forgiveness turn away from them without any feeling of anxiety — this was abrogated by the ‘sword’ verse Q. 95.
Ibn Abbas Commentary
(We created not the heavens and the earth and all that is between them) of created beings and marvels (save with truth) in order to expound the Truth, falsehood and the proofs against them, (and lo! the Hour is surely coming. So forgive, O Muhammad, with a gracious forgiveness) turn away from them gently without using foul language nor feel alarmed at their denial. This was, however, abrogated by the verse of fighting.
