8:25

وَٱتَّقُوا۟ فِتْنَةً لَّا تُصِيبَنَّ ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا۟ مِنكُمْ خَآصَّةً ۖ وَٱعْلَمُوٓا۟ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ شَدِيدُ ٱلْعِقَابِ

wa-ittaqū fit'natan lā tuṣībanna alladhīna ẓalamū minkum khāṣṣatan wa-iʿ'lamū anna l-laha shadīdu l-ʿiqābi

And fear a trial which will not strike those who have wronged among you exclusively, and know that Allāh is severe in penalty.

— Saheeh International

Beware of discord that harms not only the wrongdoers among you: know that God is severe in His punishment.

— M. A. S. Abdel Haleem

And fear the Fitnah (affliction and trial) which affects not in particular (only) those of you who do wrong (but it may afflict all the good and the bad people), and know that Allâh is Severe in punishment.

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