The Backbiter (Al-Hummazah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Ruin is for every open slanderer, backbiter. 1 Who collects wealth and [continuously] counts it. 2 He thinketh that his wealth will render him immortal. 3 Nay, but [in the life to come such as] he shall indeed be abandoned to crushing torment! 4 Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Consuming One is! 5 (It is) the fire of Allah, kindled, 6 Which penetrates the hearts 7 Verily it shall close upon them, 8 in endless columns! 9
