The Backbiter (Al-Hummazah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
WOE TO EVERY slanderer, back-biter, 1 Who amasseth wealth; and counteth it. 2 thinking that his wealth will make him live forever. 3 Nay, but verily he will be flung to the Consuming One. 4 Would that you knew what hutamah is! 5 (It is) the kindled Fire of Allah, 6 The which doth mount (Right) to the Hearts: 7 it closes in on them from every side 8 In pillars stretched forth (i.e. they will be punished in the Fire with pillars, etc.). 9
