The Backbiter (Al-Hummazah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Woe to every slanderer and backbiter. 1 [Woe unto him who amasses wealth and counts it a safeguard, 2 Does he think that his wealth will prolong his stay on earth forever? 3 By no means! He shall surely be cast into the crushing torment. 4 Would that you knew what hutamah is! 5 It is the fire kindled by Allah, 6 The which doth mount (Right) to the Hearts: 7 verily, it will close in upon them 8 in columns outstretched. 9
