25وَاتَّقوا فِتنَةً لا تُصيبَنَّ الَّذينَ ظَلَموا مِنكُم خاصَّةً ۖ وَاعلَموا أَنَّ اللَّهَ شَديدُ العِقابِ(Saheeh International)And fear a trial1 which will not strike those who have wronged among you exclusively, and know that Allāh is severe in penalty. i.e., an affliction or punishment during life upon this earth. When corruption spreads among a people, its consequences will affect everyone.
