The Backbiter (Al-Hummazah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Ruin is for every open slanderer, backbiter. 1 Who pileth up wealth and layeth it by, 2 He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal. 3 Nay, but [in the life to come such as] he shall indeed be abandoned to crushing torment! 4 And what have you understood what the Crushing One is! 5 It is the fire kindled by Allah, 6 the Fire that shall rise to the hearts (of criminals). 7 Verily, it shall be closed in on them, 8 in columns outstretched. 9
