7:193

وَإِن تَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَى ٱلْهُدَىٰ لَا يَتَّبِعُوكُمْ ۚ سَوَآءٌ عَلَيْكُمْ أَدَعَوْتُمُوهُمْ أَمْ أَنتُمْ صَـٰمِتُونَ

wa-in tadʿūhum ilā l-hudā lā yattabiʿūkum sawāon ʿalaykum adaʿawtumūhum am antum ṣāmitūna

And if you [believers] invite them to guidance, they will not follow you. It is all the same for you whether you invite them or you are silent.

— Saheeh International

If you [believers] call such people to guidance, they do not fol-low you: it makes no difference whether you call them or remain silent.

— M. A. S. Abdel Haleem

And if you call them to guidance, they follow you not. It is the same for you whether you call them or you keep silent.

— Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Muhammad Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
