Kind words and the covering of faults are better than charity followed by injury. Allah is free of all wants, and He is Most-Forbearing.
Sahih International
Kind speech and forgiveness are better than charity followed by injury. And Allah is Free of need and Forbearing.
Shakir
Kind speech and forgiveness is better than charity followed by injury; and Allah is Self-sufficient, Forbearing.

A kind word with forgiveness is better than almsgiving followed by injury. Allah is Absolute, Clement.
محمد جالندھری
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
