The Backbiter (Al-Hummazah)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Woe to every fault-finding back-biter, 1 who amasses wealth and counts it over and again. 2 thinking his wealth will render him immortal! 3 Nay, but [in the life to come such as] he shall indeed be abandoned to crushing torment! 4 And what will explain to thee That which Breaks to Pieces? 5 A fire kindled by God, 6 to penetrate into the hearts. 7 Verily it will close in upon them, 8 In outstretched columns. 9
