And do not sit in every path every route threatening terrifying people by seizing their garments or by charging them excise tax and barring driving away from God’s way from His religion those who believe in Him — when you threaten to kill them — and desiring that it seeking that the path be crooked. And remember when you were but few and then He multiplied you. And behold what was the end of the agents of corruption before you for denying their messengers that is behold how destruction was the conclusion of their affair.
- 7:8686
وَلَا تَقْعُدُوا بِكُلِّ صِرَاطٍ تُوعِدُونَ وَتَصُدُّونَ عَنْ سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ مَنْ آمَنَ بِهِ وَتَبْغُونَهَا عِوَجًا ۚ وَاذْكُرُوا إِذْ كُنْتُمْ قَلِيلًا فَكَثَّرَكُمْ ۖ وَانْظُرُوا كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الْمُفْسِدِينَ
Do not lie in ambush to intimidate and divert from the path of God those who believe in Him, nor seek obliquity in it. Remember the day when you were few and He increased your numbers. So consider the fate of those who were evil.
