The word(s) "spreading" appears 4 time(s) in 4 verse(s) in Quran in Abdullah Yusuf Ali translation.

(1) On that account: We ordained for the Children of Israel that if any one slew a person - unless it be for murder or for spreading mischief in the land - it would be as if he slew the whole people: and if any one saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people. Then although there came to them Our messengers with clear signs, yet, even after that, many of them continued to commit excesses in the land.

(2) And as one who invites to Allah's (grace) by His leave, and as a lamp spreading light.

(3) And We caused to grow, over him, a spreading plant of the gourd kind.

(4) Do they not observe the birds above them, spreading their wings and folding them in? None can uphold them except (Allah) Most Gracious: Truly (Allah) Most Gracious: Truly it is He that watches over all things.
