The Backbiter (Al-Hummazah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Ruin is for every open slanderer, backbiter. 1 Who amasses wealth and considers it a provision (against mishap); 2 thinking that his property will make him live forever. 3 By no means! He will be sure to be thrown into That which Breaks to Pieces, 4 Would that you knew what hutamah is! 5 It is a Fire kindled by God. 6 Reaching right into the hearts of men, 7 Surely it shall be closed over upon them, 8 in columns outstretched. 9
