Al-A'raf 7:86 ولا تقعدوا بكل صراط توعدون وتصدون عن سبيل الله من امن به وتبغونها عوجا واذكروا اذ كنتم قليلا فكثركم وانظروا كيف كان عاقبة المفسدين ٨٦
وَلَا
تَقۡعُدُواْ
بِكُلِّ
صِرَٰطٖ
تُوعِدُونَ
وَتَصُدُّونَ
عَن
سَبِيلِ
ٱللَّهِ
مَنۡ
ءَامَنَ
بِهِۦ
وَتَبۡغُونَهَا
عِوَجٗاۚ
وَٱذۡكُرُوٓاْ
إِذۡ
كُنتُمۡ
قَلِيلٗا
فَكَثَّرَكُمۡۖ
وَٱنظُرُواْ
كَيۡفَ
كَانَ
عَٰقِبَةُ
ٱلۡمُفۡسِدِينَ
٨٦
