Hi!
If it �s "stay your hand," according to answers.com it means:
do not move your hand-- especially do not hit anybody with it, or act in any harmful way.
Hope this helps and have a nice day.

The sentence is: "Mr. Karzai is staying his hand only because the IEC balked at accepting the astonishing results from Ghazni, a Pushtun majority constituency where preliminary counts gave all 11 seats to the Hazara ethnic minority." |
