Quran 5:62 — Al-Maaida, verse 62
M. A. S. Abdel Haleem · selected translation
You [Prophet] see many of them rushing into sin and hostility and consuming what is unlawful. How evil their practices are!
وَتَرَىٰ كَثِيرًا مِنْهُمْ يُسَارِعُونَ فِي الْإِثْمِ وَالْعُدْوَانِ وَأَكْلِهِمُ السُّحْتَ ۚ لَبِئْسَ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ
watarā kathīran min'hum yusāriʿūna fī l-ith'mi wal-ʿud'wāni wa-aklihimu l-suḥ'ta labi'sa mā kānū yaʿmalūna
