يَا أَيُّهَا
الَّذِينَ
آمَنُوا
إِن
جَاءَكُمْ
فَاسِقٌ
بِنَبَإٍ
فَتَبَيَّنُوا
أَن
تُصِيبُوا
قَوْمًا
بِجَهَالَةٍ
فَتُصْبِحُوا
عَلَى
مَا
فَعَلْتُمْ
نَادِمِينَ

O ye who believe! If a wicked person comes to you with any news, ascertain the truth, lest ye harm people unwittingly, and afterwards become full of repentance for what ye have done.
— Abdullah Yusufali
O you who have faith! If a vicious character brings you some news, verify it, lest you should visit [harm] on some people out of ignorance, and then become regretful for what you have done.
