[4:149] If you show good, or conceal it, or pardon evil, then surely God is ever Pardoning, Powerful.
If you show good, taking on the good manners found in the law (sharīʿa) or conceal, actualizing the precepts of the deeper reality (ḥaqīqa), or pardon evil, adopting from God what He has entrusted you with in the most beautiful ways of behaving, then surely God is ever Pardoning of your defects, Powerful in causing you to attain what you love and to reach what you seek.
It is said if you show good, you will be an example for humankind in what you practice and what you indicate for others according to what they have been guided to from the way of your practice. If you conceal it, content with only His knowing it, and safeguarding yourselves from the evils of affectation, trusting that those of you who act for Him will have that seen and known by Him, or pardon evil, i.e. you ignore what your lower selves call you to, then God will grant you His pardon for what you do. He is Powerful and can afflict you with that with which the oppressor afflicts. It will be a warning to them that they are heedless in witnessing the favor and an awakening to the fact that they should seek protection from being deprived of immunity and being abandoned so that they fall into discord and trial.
It is said if you show good, acting well towards people, or conceal it, praying for them in secret, or pardon evil, even if you have been wronged.
It is said show good towards those who act well towards you and be loyal in friendship and pray in secret for those who spare you from their evil. Pardon those who do evil to you with generosity and graciousness. You will find pardon from God according to what you yourself do, for surely your sins are more numerous. He is Powerful to give you in favor and blessings that which you cannot attain by taking vengeance or revenge.
