وَلَوْ أَنَّهُمْ صَبَرُوا حَتَّىٰ تَخْرُجَ إِلَيْهِمْ لَكَانَ خَيْرًا لَّهُمْ ۚ وَاللَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ

Dan kalau sekiranya mereka bersabar sampai kamu keluar menemui mereka sesungguhnya itu lebih baik bagi mereka, dan Allah Maha Pengampun lagi Maha Penyayang.

And if they had been patient until you [could] come out to them, it would have been better for them. But Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.
