﴿ وَلَا تَقْعُدُوا۟ بِكُلِّ صِرَٰطٍۢ تُوعِدُونَ وَتَصُدُّونَ عَن سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ مَنْ ءَامَنَ بِهِۦ وَتَبْغُونَهَا عِوَجًۭا ۚ وَٱذْكُرُوٓا۟ إِذْ كُنتُمْ قَلِيلًۭا فَكَثَّرَكُمْ ۖ وَٱنظُرُوا۟ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلْمُفْسِدِينَ ﴾

“And do not lie in ambush by every road [that leads to the truth], threatening and trying to turn away from God's path all who believe in Him, and trying to make it appear crooked. And remember [the time] when you were few, and [how] He made you many: and behold what happened in the end to the spreaders of corruption!”

(Lurk not on every road) that people use (to threaten) and beat, scare and take the clothes of strangers, (and to turn away from Allah's path) from Allah's religion and obedience (him who believeth in him) in Shu'ayb (Jethro), (and to seek to make it crooked) and seek to make it other than what it is. (And remember, when you were but few) in number, (how He did multiply you) in number. (And see the nature of the consequence for the corrupters!) see how was the end result of the idolaters before you through destruction.
