The Backbiter (Al-Hummazah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Woe to every slanderer and backbiter. 1 [Woe unto him who amasses wealth and counts it a safeguard, 2 thinking that his property will make him live forever. 3 By no means! He shall surely be cast into the Crushing Fire. 4 And what could make thee conceive what that crushing torment will be? 5 It is a fierce fire created by God 6 Which leapeth up over the hearts (of men). 7 Surely it shall be closed over upon them, 8 In pillars stretched forth (i.e. they will be punished in the Fire with pillars, etc.). 9
