يَا أَيُّهَا
الَّذِينَ
آمَنُوا
اجْتَنِبُوا
كَثِيرًا
مِّنَ
الظَّنِّ
إِنَّ
بَعْضَ
الظَّنِّ
إِثْمٌ
وَلَا
تَجَسَّسُوا
وَلَا
يَغْتَب
بَّعْضُكُم
بَعْضًا
أَيُحِبُّ
أَحَدُكُمْ
أَن
يَأْكُلَ
لَحْمَ
أَخِيهِ
مَيْتًا
فَكَرِهْتُمُوهُ
وَاتَّقُوا
اللَّهَ
إِنَّ
اللَّهَ
تَوَّابٌ
رَّحِيمٌ

O you who have faith! Avoid much suspicion; indeed some suspicions are sins. And do not spy on one another or backbite. Will any of you love to eat the flesh of his dead brother? You would hate it. Be wary of Allah; indeed Allah is all-clement, all-merciful.
— Ali Quli Qarai
O ye who believe! Avoid suspicion as much (as possible): for suspicion in some cases is a sin: And spy not on each other behind their backs. Would any of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? Nay, ye would abhor it... But fear Allah: For Allah is Oft-Returning, Most Merciful.
