فَهَلْ عَسَيْتُمْ إِن تَوَلَّيْتُمْ أَن تُفْسِدُوا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَتُقَطِّعُوٓا۟ أَرْحَامَكُمْ ﴿٢٢﴾
Basi yanayo tarajiwa kwenu mkitawala ndio mfisidi katika nchi na mwatupe jamaa zenu?

Evidence
Quran
أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ ٱلَّذِينَ لَعَنَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ فَأَصَمَّهُمْ وَأَعْمَىٰٓ أَبْصَٰرَهُمْ ﴿٢٣﴾
Hao ndio Mwenyezi Mungu alio walaani, na akawatia uziwi, na akawapofoa macho yao.
وَٱلَّذِينَ يَنقُضُونَ عَهْدَ ٱللَّهِ مِنۢ بَعْدِ مِيثَٰقِهِۦ وَيَقْطَعُونَ مَآ أَمَرَ ٱللَّهُ بِهِۦٓ أَن يُوصَلَ وَيُفْسِدُونَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ۙ أُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ لَهُمُ ٱللَّعْنَةُ وَلَهُمْ سُوٓءُ ٱلدَّارِ ﴿٢٥﴾
Na wale wanao vunja ahadi ya Mwenyezi Mungu baada ya kuzifunga, na wanakata aliyo amrisha Mwenyezi Mungu yaungwe, na wanafanya fisadi katika nchi: hao ndio watakao pata laana, na watapata Nyumba mbaya.
