The Backbiter (Al-Hummazah)
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Ruin is for every open slanderer, backbiter. 1 Who collects wealth and [continuously] counts it. 2 He thinketh that his wealth will render him immortal. 3 Nay, but [in the life to come such as] he shall indeed be abandoned to crushing torment! 4 How will you comprehend what Hutama is? 5 It is the fire kindled by God 6 Which penetrates the hearts 7 Verily it shall close upon them, 8 in towering columns. 9
