ولا تجسسوا ولا تنافسوا،

And do not spy, and do not compete with each other,

تَجَسَّسُوا you spy

A present-tense verb with the 'you all' subject folded into its ending and the reflexive pattern that here means spying or prying. The prohibition word before it puts it in the jussive shape, the special clipped ending Arabic uses for negative commands, so the form itself signals that this is something forbidden.
