quran:26:183 –

And do not deprive people of their due and do not commit abuse on earth, spreading corruption.  

and do not defraud people in their goods, do not diminish anything of what is due to them, and do not be degenerate in the earth, seeking corruption, by killing or otherwise (˹ta‘thaw, ‘degenerate’˺ derives from ‘athiya, meaning afsada, ‘to corrupt’; mufsidīna, ‘seeking corruption’, is a circumstantial qualifier emphasising the import of its operator ˹ta‘thaw˺).
القرآن:٢٦:١٨٣ –

وَلَا تَبْخَسُوا النَّاسَ أَشْيَاءَهُمْ وَلَا تَعْثَوْا فِي الْأَرْضِ مُفْسِدِينَ  

{ولا تبخسوا الناس أشياءهم} لا تنقصوهم من حقهم شيئا {ولا تعثوْا في الأرض مفسدين} بالقتل وغيره من عَثِيَ بكسر المثلثة أفسد ومفسدين حال مؤكدة لمعنى عاملها.

quran:11:85 –

And O my people, give full measure and weight in justice and do not deprive the people of their due and do not commit abuse on the earth, spreading corruption.  

O my people, give full measure and weight, fulfil ˹the due of˺ both of these, in justice, and do not defraud people in respect of their goods, do not diminish anything of their due, and do not be degenerate in the land, working corruption, by killing or otherwise (˹lā ta‘thaū˺ derives from ‘athiya, meaning afsada, ‘he corrupted’; mufsidīn, ‘working corruption’, is a circumstantial qualifier reiterating the import of the term operating it, ta‘thaū, ‘˹do not˺ be degenerate’).
القرآن:١١:٨٥ –

وَيَا قَوْمِ أَوْفُوا الْمِكْيَالَ وَالْمِيزَانَ بِالْقِسْطِ ۖ وَلَا تَبْخَسُوا النَّاسَ أَشْيَاءَهُمْ وَلَا تَعْثَوْا فِي الْأَرْضِ مُفْسِدِينَ  

{ويا قوم أوفوا المكيال والميزان} أتموهما {بالقسط} بالعدل {ولا تبخسوا الناس أشياءهم} لا تنقصوهم من حقهم شيئا {ولا تعثوا في الأرض مفسدين} بالقتل وغيره من عثي بكسر المثلثة أفسد ومفسدين حال مؤكدة لمعنى عاملها تعثوا.
