The Backbiter (Al-Hummazah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
WOE TO EVERY slanderer, back-biter, 1 Who collects wealth and [continuously] counts it. 2 Does he think his wealth will abide for ever with him? 3 Nay, but [in the life to come such as] he shall indeed be abandoned to crushing torment! 4 Would that you understood what that crushing torment is like. 5 Fire of Allah, Kindled, 6 The which doth mount (Right) to the Hearts: 7 (And) vaults them over 8 In extended columns. 9
