The Backbiter (Al-Hummazah)
In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Ruin is for every open slanderer, backbiter. 1 Who pileth up wealth and layeth it by, 2 thinking 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 And what could make thee conceive what that crushing torment will be? 5 It is the fire kindled by God 6 Reaching right into the hearts of men, 7 verily, it will close in upon them 8 In pillars stretched forth. 9
