The Backbiter (Al-Hummazah)
In the name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
WOE TO EVERY slanderer, back-biter, 1 [Woe unto him who amasses wealth and counts it a safeguard, 2 Thinking that his wealth would make him last for ever! 3 Never! He will certainly be thrown into the Crushing One. 4 Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Consuming One is! 5 A fire kindled by God, 6 which will rise over the [guilty] hearts: 7 Verily, it shall be closed in on them, 8 in outstretched columns. 9
