Surah Al-Humazah, verse 1
وَيْلٌ لِّكُلِّ هُمَزَةٍ لُّمَزَةٍWoe to every backbiter, slanderer,
Al-Humazah (Surah 104)
Al-Humazah (The Backbiters)
Makki SurahIntroduction
This Meccan sûrah is critical of those who slander others and withhold Allah’s bounties. It is made clear that their punishment in Hell is as easy for Allah as the destruction of the evil force mentioned in the next sûrah.
In the Name of Allah—the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
In the Name of Allah—the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful.
Warning to Defamers
1. Woe to every backbiter, slanderer, 2. who amasses wealth (greedily) and counts it (repeatedly), 3. thinking that their wealth will make them immortal! 4. Not at all! Such a person will certainly be tossed into the Crusher. 5. And what will make you realize what the Crusher is? 6. (It is) Allah’s kindled Fire, 7. which rages over the hearts. 8. It will be sealed over them, 9. (tightly secured) with long braces.

ٱلَّذِى جَمَعَ مَالًا وَعَدَّدَهُۥ٢
يَحْسَبُ أَنَّ مَالَهُۥٓ أَخْلَدَهُۥ٣
كَلَّا ۖ لَيُنۢبَذَنَّ فِى ٱلْحُطَمَةِ٤
وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْحُطَمَةُ٥
نَارُ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُوقَدَةُ٦
ٱلَّتِى تَطَّلِعُ عَلَى ٱلْأَفْـِٔدَةِ٧
إِنَّهَا عَلَيْهِم مُّؤْصَدَةٌ٨
فِى عَمَدٍ مُّمَدَّدَةٍۭ٩
