The Backbiter (Al-Hummazah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
Woe to every backbiter, slanderer 1 Who amasses wealth and considers it a provision (against mishap); 2 Does he think that his wealth will prolong his stay on earth forever? 3 On the contrary! He shall be flung to the Crusher. 4 And what have you understood what the Crushing One is! 5 (It is) the fire of Allah, kindled, 6 The which doth mount (Right) to the Hearts: 7 Surely it shall be closed over upon them, 8 In extending columns. 9
