'Do not sit in wait on every road, threatening the people travelling there in order to steal their possessions, and preventing those who want to be guided from the path of Allah, wanting the path of Allah to be crooked so that people would not follow it.
Remember the blessings of Allah upon you so that you might be thankful, for you had been few in the land and He increased your numbers.
Reflect on what had been the end of those who caused corruption in the earth before you, since their end had been destruction and ruin!'

"And sit not on every road, threatening, and hindering from the Path of Allah those who believe in Him. and seeking to make it crooked. And remember when you were but few, and He multiplied you. And see what was the end of the Mufsidun (mischief-makers, corrupts, liars).
