In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
1. Woe to every slanderer, backbiter. 2. Who gathers wealth and counts it. 3. He thinks that his wealth will make him last forever. 4. Nay, he will surely be thrown into the crushing place. 5. And what do you know what the crushing place is. 6. The Fire of Allah, kindled.
7. Which leaps up over the
hearts. 8. Indeed, it will be closed down upon them. 9. In stretched forth columns.
