Question:
He says: In His saying, Glorified and Exalted is He,[An-Nahl 16:125], is the wisdom here the Sunnah or is it gentleness?

Wisdom is placing things in their proper place. Gentleness and the Sunnah are included in it; it includes the Sunnah, gentleness, encouraging good, and softness, so that it has an effect on the one being called. Yes.[Taha 20:44]. Yes.
He says: In His saying, Glorified and Exalted is He,
Invite to the way of your Lord with wisdom
ادْعُ إِلَىٰ سَبِيلِ رَبِّكَ بِالْحِكْمَةِAnswer:
Wisdom is placing things in their proper place. Gentleness and the Sunnah are included in it; it includes the Sunnah, gentleness, encouraging good, and softness, so that it has an effect on the one being called. Yes.
And speak to him with gentle speech that perhaps he may be reminded or fear [Allah]."
فَقُولَا لَهُ قَوْلًا لَّيِّنًا لَّعَلَّهُ يَتَذَكَّرُ أَوْ يَخْشَىٰ
