The Backbiter (Al-Hummazah)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
WOE TO EVERY slanderer, back-biter, 1 who amasses wealth and counts it over and again. 2 He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal. 3 Nay, but verily he will be flung to the Consuming One. 4 Would that you knew what hutamah is! 5 It is the fire kindled by God 6 which will rise over the [guilty] hearts: 7 Lo! it is closed in on them 8 In extended columns. 9
