Sorah Al-Humazah ( The Slanderer ) - Verses Number 9
وَيْلٌ لِّكُلِّ هُمَزَةٍ لُّمَزَةٍ
( 1 )
Woe to every (kind of) scandal-monger and-backbiter,
الَّذِي جَمَعَ مَالًا وَعَدَّدَهُ
( 2 )
Who pileth up wealth and layeth it by,
يَحْسَبُ أَنَّ مَالَهُ أَخْلَدَهُ
( 3 )
Thinking that his wealth would make him last for ever!
كَلَّا ۖ لَيُنبَذَنَّ فِي الْحُطَمَةِ
( 4 )
By no means! He will be sure to be thrown into That which Breaks to Pieces,
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الْحُطَمَةُ
( 5 )
And what will explain to thee That which Breaks to Pieces?
نَارُ اللَّهِ الْمُوقَدَةُ
( 6 )
(It is) the Fire of (the Wrath of) Allah kindled (to a blaze),
الَّتِي تَطَّلِعُ عَلَى الْأَفْئِدَةِ
( 7 )
The which doth mount (Right) to the Hearts:
إِنَّهَا عَلَيْهِم مُّؤْصَدَةٌ
( 8 )
It shall be made into a vault over them,
فِي عَمَدٍ مُّمَدَّدَةٍ
( 9 )
In columns outstretched.
