2:109

وَدَّ كَثٖیرٌ مِنْ اَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ لَوْ یَرُدُّونَكُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِ اٖیمَانِكُمْ كُفَّارًاۚ حَسَدًا مِنْ عِنْدِ اَنْفُسِهِمْ مِنْ بَعْدِ مَا تَبَیَّنَ لَهُمُ الْحَقُّۚ فَاعْفُوا وَاصْفَحُوا حَتّٰى یَاْتِیَ اللّٰهُ بِاَمْرِهٖؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَیْءٍ قَدٖیرٌ

Wadda katheerun min ahli alkitabi law yaruddoonakum min baAAdi eemanikum kuffaran hasadan min AAindi anfusihim min baAAdi ma tabayyana lahumu alhaqqu faoAAfoo waisfahoo hatta yatiya Allahu biamrihi inna Allaha AAala kulli shayin qadeerun

Translations

Many of the People of the Scripture wish they could turn you back to disbelief after you have believed, out of envy from themselves [even] after the truth has become clear to them. So pardon and overlook until Allah delivers His command. Indeed, Allah is over all things competent

Saheeh International

Many of the people of the Scripture long to make you disbelievers after your belief, through envy on their own account, after the truth hath become manifest unto them. Forgive and be indulgent (toward them) until Allah give command. Lo! Allah is Able to do all things
