feel compassion for


Explanation:
I have omitted the phrase ''in their hearts''as it'd be a redundancy.
رَحمَة، شَفَقَة، عَطف
أَشْفَق، أَشْفَق على

Example sentence(s):
  • وهو لا يعني الرحمة نفسها ، لكنها تساعد الرحمة. وتفتح قنوات الشفقة.
  • This is not the same as compassion, but it's conducive to compassion. It opens the channels for compassion.
