وَلَا تَقْعُدُوا بِكُلِّ صِرَاطٍ تُوعِدُونَ وَتَصُدُّونَ عَنْ سَبٖیلِ اللّٰهِ مَنْ اٰمَنَ بِهٖ وَتَبْغُونَهَا عِوَجًاۚ وَاذْكُرُٓوا اِذْ كُنْتُمْ قَلٖیلًا فَكَثَّرَكُمْࣕ وَانْظُرُوا كَیْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الْمُفْسِدٖینَ

Wala taqAAudoo bikulli siratin tooAAidoona watasuddoona AAan sabeeli Allahi man amana bihi watabghoonaha AAiwajan waothkuroo ith kuntum qaleelan fakaththarakum waonthuroo kayfa kana AAaqibatu almufsideena

Translations

And do not sit on every path, threatening and averting from the way of Allah those who believe in Him, seeking to make it [seem] deviant. And remember when you were few and He increased you. And see how was the end of the corrupters

Saheeh International

Lurk not on every road to threaten (wayfarers), and to turn away from Allah's path him who believeth in Him, and to seek to make it crooked. And remember, when ye were but few, how He did multiply you. And see the nature of the consequence for the corrupters
