The Backbiter (Al-Hummazah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
WOE TO EVERY slanderer, back-biter, 1 Who collects wealth and [continuously] counts it. 2 He thinketh that his wealth will render him immortal. 3 No! He will surely be thrown into the Crusher. 4 And what shall make thee know that which the Crushing Fire is? 5 It is the fire kindled by God 6 Which mounteth up to the hearts. 7 It shall be made into a vault over them, 8 In pillars stretched forth (i.e. they will be punished in the Fire with pillars, etc.). 9
