The Backbiter (Al-Hummazah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
Woe to every scorner and mocker 1 Who amasses wealth and considers it a provision (against mishap); 2 He thinks that his wealth will immortalise him forever. 3 Nay! Verily, he will be thrown into the crushing Fire. 4 Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Consuming One is! 5 It is the fire of Allah, [eternally] fueled, 6 to penetrate into the hearts. 7 Surely it shall be closed over upon them, 8 In extending columns. 9
