The Backbiter (Al-Hummazah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Woe to every scorner and mocker 1 Who amasses wealth and considers it a provision (against mishap); 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 understood what that crushing torment is like. 5 The Fire of God kindled 6 Which mounteth up to the hearts. 7 Surely it shall be closed over upon them, 8 In pillars stretched forth. 9
