The Backbiter (Al-Hummazah)
In the Name of God, the Merciful, the Compassionate
Woe to every backbiter, slanderer 1 who amasses wealth and counts it, 2 He thinks that his wealth will immortalise him forever. 3 Nay! he shall most certainly be hurled into the crushing disaster, 4 And what will explain to thee That which Breaks to Pieces? 5 A fire kindled by God, 6 The which doth mount (Right) to the Hearts: 7 It shall be made into a vault over them, 8 in columns outstretched. 9
