Al-Baqara • EN-KASHANI-TAFSIR
﴿ وَإِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ لَا تُفْسِدُوا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّمَا نَحْنُ مُصْلِحُونَ ﴾
“And when they are told, "Do not spread corruption on earth," they answer, "We are but improving things!"”
When it is said to them, 'Do not work corruption on earth', they say, 'We are only putting things right'.
