خير العفو ما كان عن القدرة
قال الشاعر:
أعف عني فقد قدرت وخير        العفو عفو يكون بعد اقتدار

The best forgiveness is that which comes from power.
As the poet said:
Forgive me, for you have power; and the best forgiveness is that which comes after having power.

المثل «خيرُ العفو ما كان عن القدرة» من أشهر الحكم العربية، ومعناه أن أسمى مراتب العفو أن يكون الإنسان قادرًا على الانتقام ثم يصفح اختيارًا، لأن العفو مع العجز ليس فضيلة بالقدر نفسه.
وأقرب المقابلات الإنجليزية: To err is human; to forgive, divine.
«الخطأ من طبيعة البشر، والعفو من شيم العظماء.»
وهو أشهر مثل إنجليزي في العفو، لكنه لا يتضمن معنى القدرة.
Mercy is the mark of a great man.
«الرحمة سمة الرجل العظيم.»
قريب في المعنى، لكنه ليس مثلًا شائعًا.

«العفو الحقيقي هو أن تعفو حين تكون قادرًا على العقاب.»
وهو أدق ترجمة لمعنى المثل.
The greatest mercy is shown by those who have the power to punish.
«أعظم الرحمة تكون ممن يملك القدرة على العقاب.»

The proverb "The best forgiveness is that which comes from a position of power" is one of the most famous Arabic proverbs. It means that the highest form of forgiveness is when a person is capable of revenge and chooses to pardon, because forgiveness when one is powerless is not as virtuous.
The closest English equivalents are:
"To err is human; to forgive, divine."
"To err is human; to forgive is divine."
This is the most famous English proverb about forgiveness, but it doesn't include the meaning of power.
"Mercy is the mark of a great man."
"Mercy is a characteristic of a great man."
This is similar in meaning, but not a common proverb.
"True forgiveness is forgiving when you have the power to punish."
"True forgiveness is to forgive when you have the power to punish."
This is the most accurate translation of the proverb's meaning.
"The greatest mercy is shown by those who have the power to punish."
"The greatest mercy comes from those who possess the power to punish." Best equivalent
If you're looking for an equivalent in meaning, the most accurate expression is:
True forgiveness is forgiving when you have the power to punish.
However, if you're looking for a well-known English proverb, a similar one is:
To err is human; to forgive, divine.
But it doesn't convey the idea of ​​forgiveness with the power to punish, which is the essence of the Arabic proverb.

God strike him with the third of the three stones رماه الله بثالثة الأثافي

They said: It is a piece of rock placed next to two other stones, upon which the cooking pot rests. This is said of someone who inflicts a great calamity, and also of someone who leaves no evil untouched, because the three stones of the three stones are each the size of a person's head. So, if he strikes him with the third, he has reached the end. This is what al-Azhari said. Al-Badi' al-Hamadhani said: "I have a body like one of the three stones... and a liver like the third of the three stones."
He means the piece of rock.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 The closest English equivalent to this proverb is:
The last straw.
Meaning: The final, devastating blow.
Another expression very close to conveying the meaning of a great calamity is:
A crushing blow.
Or:
Hit with the worst calamity.
Because the phrase "the third of the three stones" signifies the ultimate in severity and hardship, there is also:
When it rains, it pours.
Meaning: When misfortunes come, they come all at once.
It can also be expressed as:
The final and greatest disaster.
This is closer to the original meaning of the Arabic proverb.

قالوا: هي القطعة من الجبل يوضع إلى جنبها حجران وينصب عليها القدر.يضرب لمن رمى بداهية عظيمة، ويضرب لمن لا يبقى من الشر شيئا، لأن الأثفية ثلاثة أحجار كل حجر مثل رأس الإنسان، فإذا رماه بالثالثة فقد بلغ النهاية، كذا قاله الأزهري، قال البديع الهمذاني:
ولي جسم كواحدة المثاني ... له كبد كثالثة الأثافي.
يريد القطعة من الجبل
