The Backbiter (Al-Hummazah)
In the Name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Woe to every (kind of) scandal-monger and-backbiter, 1 [Woe unto him who amasses wealth and counts it a safeguard, 2 Does he think his wealth will abide for ever with him? 3 Nay, but [in the life to come such as] he shall indeed be abandoned to crushing torment! 4 Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Consuming One is! 5 It is a Fire kindled by God. 6 Which leaps up over the hearts, 7 Indeed, Hellfire will be closed down upon them 8 In pillars stretched forth (i.e. they will be punished in the Fire with pillars, etc.). 9
