The Backbiter (Al-Hummazah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
Woe to every slanderer and backbiter. 1 Who pileth up wealth and layeth it by, 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 kindled Fire of Allah, 6 The which doth mount (Right) to the Hearts: 7 It shall be made into a vault over them, 8 In extending columns. 9
