The Backbiter (Al-Hummazah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Ruin is for every open slanderer, backbiter. 1 [Woe unto him who amasses wealth and counts it a safeguard, 2 thinking his wealth will render him immortal! 3 Nay! he shall most certainly be hurled into the crushing disaster, 4 Would that you understood what that crushing torment is like. 5 The fire of Allah, kindled, 6 Which mounteth up to the hearts. 7 Indeed it will be shut over them. 8 In pillars stretched forth. 9
