The Backbiter (Al-Hummazah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Woe unto every backbiter, slanderer, 1 who amasses wealth and counts it over and again. 2 thinking that his wealth will make him live forever! 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 Which penetrates the hearts 7 covered down upon them, 8 in columns outstretched. 9
