The Backbiter (Al-Hummazah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Woe unto every backbiter, slanderer, 1 Who pileth up wealth and layeth it by, 2 Does he think his wealth will abide for ever with him? 3 Nay, but verily he will be flung to the Consuming One. 4 And what can make you know what is the Crusher? 5 It is the fire kindled by God 6 Reaching right into the hearts of men, 7 it closes in on them from every side 8 In columns outstretched. 9
