The Backbiter (Al-Hummazah)
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Woe to every slanderer and backbiter 1 who amasses wealth and counts it over and again. 2 thinking his wealth will render him immortal! 3 Nay, he shall be thrown into the Crusher. 4 And what will explain to thee That which Breaks to Pieces? 5 It is the Fire kindled by Allah, 6 which will rise over the [guilty] hearts: 7 it closes in on them from every side 8 In columns outstretched. 9
