Ayah: 83

وَإِذَا جَآءَهُمۡ أَمۡرٞ مِّنَ ٱلۡأَمۡنِ أَوِ ٱلۡخَوۡفِ أَذَاعُواْ بِهِۦۖ وَلَوۡ رَدُّوهُ إِلَى ٱلرَّسُولِ وَإِلَىٰٓ أُوْلِي ٱلۡأَمۡرِ مِنۡهُمۡ لَعَلِمَهُ ٱلَّذِينَ يَسۡتَنۢبِطُونَهُۥ مِنۡهُمۡۗ وَلَوۡلَا فَضۡلُ ٱللَّهِ عَلَيۡكُمۡ وَرَحۡمَتُهُۥ لَٱتَّبَعۡتُمُ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنَ إِلَّا قَلِيلٗا

83. When there comes to them news about (public) security or fear, they spread it around34. If they had referred it to the messenger and to those in authority among them, those among them whose task it is to investigate the matter would have known it. Were it not for the Favor of Allāh upon you and His mercy, you would have followed Satan except a few.

34. These are the blabbers, who are only too eager to spread whatever news comes their way aiming to stir up unrest.
