47:22

فَهَلْ عَسَيْتُمْ إِن تَوَلَّيْتُمْ أَن تُفْسِدُوا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَتُقَطِّعُوٓا۟ أَرْحَامَكُمْ

fahal ʿasaytum in tawallaytum an tuf'sidū fī l-arḍi watuqaṭṭiʿū arḥāmakum

So would you perhaps, if you turned away, cause corruption on earth and sever your [ties of] relationship?

— Saheeh International

‘If you turn away now, could it be that you will go on to spread corruption all over the land and break your ties of kinship?’

— M. A. S. Abdel Haleem

Would you then, if you were given the authority, do mischief in the land, and sever your ties of kinship?

— Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Muhammad Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
