The Backbiter (Al-Hummazah)
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
WOE TO EVERY slanderer, back-biter, 1 who amasses wealth and counts it over and again. 2 thinking that his wealth will make him live forever. 3 By no means! He shall surely be cast into the crushing torment. 4 And what will explain to thee That which Breaks to Pieces? 5 The Fire of God kindled 6 The which doth mount (Right) to the Hearts: 7 Verily it will close in upon them, 8 in its long columns of flames. 9
