The Backbiter (Al-Hummazah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Woe to every fault-finding back-biter, 1 who amasses wealth and counts it over and again. 2 He thinks that his wealth will make him last forever! 3 Nay, he shall be thrown into the Crusher. 4 And what will make you realize what the crushing disaster is? 5 Fire of Allah, Kindled, 6 The which doth mount (Right) to the Hearts: 7 Verily, it shall be closed in on them, 8 in outstretched columns. 9
