               reparation shall be the owner of the saddlebags in which it is
               discovered. Among us, this is how wrongdoers are repaid." He
               started with their bags before his brother's, and then produced
               it from his brother's bag. In that way, We devised a cunning
               scheme for Joseph. He could not have held his brother
               according to the statutes of the king – only because Allah had
               willed it so. We raise the rank of anyone We will. Over
               everyone with knowledge is a Knower. (Surah Yusuf, 70-76)
               Another example of a trap is when the Prophet Abraham (as)
             broke his people's idols. Verses describing this read:

               We gave Abraham his right guidance early on, and We had
               complete knowledge of him. When he asked his father and his
               people: "What are these statues you are clinging to?" They
               replied: "We found our fathers worshipping them." He said:
               "You and your fathers are clearly misguided." They asked:
               "Have you brought us the truth, or are you playing games?" He
               said: "Far from it! Your Lord is the Lord of the heavens and
               earth, He Who brought them into being. I am one of those who
               bear witness to that. By Allah, I will devise some scheme
               against your idols when your backs are turned." He broke them
               into pieces, except for the largest one, so that they would have
               it to consult. They exclaimed: "Who has done this to our
               deities? He is definitely one of the wrongdoers!" Some people
               said: "We heard a young man mentioning them. They call him
               Abraham." They said: "Bring him before the people's eyes so
               they can be witnesses." They asked: "Did you do this to our
               deities, Abraham?" He replied: "No, this one, the largest of
               them, did it. Ask them, if they are able to speak!" They
               consulted among themselves and said: "You are wrongdoers."
