The Backbiter (Al-Hummazah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
Woe to every slanderer, defamer, 1 Who amasses wealth and hordes it. 2 He thinketh that his wealth will render him immortal. 3 Nay, but verily he will be flung to the Consuming One. 4 And what will explain to thee That which Breaks to Pieces? 5 A fire kindled by God, 6 to penetrate into the hearts. 7 It will engulf them. 8 In extending columns. 9
