يَٓا اَيُّهَا الَّذ۪ينَ اٰمَنُوا اجْتَنِبُوا كَث۪يراً مِنَ الظَّنِّۚ اِنَّ بَعْضَ الظَّنِّ اِثْمٌ وَلَا تَجَسَّسُوا وَلَا يَغْتَبْ بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضاًۜ اَيُحِبُّ اَحَدُكُمْ اَنْ يَأْكُلَ لَحْمَ اَخ۪يهِ مَيْتاً فَكَرِهْتُمُوهُۜ وَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَۜ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ تَـوَّابٌ رَح۪يمٌ

Ya ayyuha allatheena amanooijtaniboo katheeran mina aththanni innabaAAda aththanni ithmun walatajassasoo wala yaghtab baAAdukum baAAdanayuhibbu ahadukum an ya/kula lahma akheehimaytan fakarihtumoohu wattaqoo Allaha inna Allahatawwabun raheem

O you who heed warning: avoid much assumption; some assumption is sin. And spy not; neither backbite one another. Would any of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? You would detest it. And be in prudent fear of God; God is accepting of repentance and merciful.
