The Backbiter (Al-Hummazah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Ruin is for every open slanderer, backbiter. 1 [Woe unto him who amasses wealth and counts it a safeguard, 2 thinking that his wealth will make him live forever! 3 By no means! He will be sure to be thrown into That which Breaks to Pieces, 4 And what will make you realize what the crushing disaster is? 5 It is the Fire kindled by Allah, 6 Which leaps up over the hearts, 7 Indeed it will be shut over them. 8 In pillars stretched forth (i.e. they will be punished in the Fire with pillars, etc.). 9
