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, 2 thinking that his wealth will make him live forever. 3 Nay, he shall be thrown into the Crusher. 4 Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Consuming One is! 5 Fire of Allah, Kindled, 6 which shall oversee the hearts, 7 Lo! it is closed in on them 8 In extended columns. 9
