Al-Hujurat 49:5

Walaw annahum sabaroo hattatakhruja ilayhim lakana khayran lahum wallahughafoorun raheem

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

Had they remained patient until you come out to them, it would have been much better for them. And Allah is Most-Forgiving, Very-Merciful.
