In the Quran
۞ قَوْلٌۭ مَّعْرُوفٌۭ وَمَغْفِرَةٌ خَيْرٌۭ مِّن صَدَقَةٍۢ يَتْبَعُهَآ أَذًۭى ۗ وَٱللَّهُ غَنِىٌّ حَلِيمٌۭ
جس خیرات دینے کے بعد (لینے والے کو) ایذا دی جائے اس سے تو نرم بات کہہ دینی اور (اس کی بے ادبی سے) درگزر کرنا بہتر ہے اور خدا بےپروا اور بردبار ہے
A kind word with forgiveness is better than almsgiving followed by injury. Allah is Absolute, Clement.
