And the servants of the Most Merciful are those who walk upon the earth easily,1 and when the ignorant address them [harshly], they say [words of] peace,2
Translation: Saheeh International (English)
1 i.e., gently, with dignity but without arrogance.
2 Or "safety," i.e., words free from fault or evil.
The servants of the Merciful are the believers who walk humbly on the earth with dignity, and when the foolish address them they do not retaliate in the same manner but they tell them something that saves them from their evil.
