The Backbiter (Al-Hummazah)
In the name of Allah, most benevolent, ever-merciful
Woe to every backbiter, slanderer 1 who collects and hordes wealth, 2 He thinks that his wealth will immortalise him forever. 3 Nay, but verily he will be flung to the Consuming One. 4 Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Consuming One is! 5 The Fire of God kindled 6 to penetrate into the hearts. 7 Verily, it shall be closed in on them, 8 In extending columns. 9
