The Backbiter (Al-Hummazah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Woe to every slanderer and backbiter. 1 Who collects wealth and [continuously] counts it. 2 He thinks that his wealth will make him last forever! 3 Nay, but verily he will be flung to the Consuming One. 4 And what could make thee conceive what that crushing torment will be? 5 The Fire of God kindled 6 Reaching right into the hearts of men, 7 Surely it shall be closed over upon them, 8 In columns outstretched. 9
