- respond in kind, al-Anfal 8:58; an-Nahl 16:126

- being patient is far better, an-Nahl 16:126

It is thus not an intrinsic quality of Muhammad.

- leave, wishing those being left peace, al-Furqan 25:63; al-Qasas 28:55

- respond with something better, Ha Mim Sajdah 41:34

- those slandered should provide charity for the "erring ones", an-Nur 24:22
