Surah “The Traducer, The Gossipmonger, The Slanderer”

as rendered by Muhammad Sarwar — 9 verses

Woe to every slanderer and backbite
who collects and hordes wealth
thinking that his property will make him live forever
By no means! They will be thrown into hutamah
Would that you knew what hutamah is
It is a fierce fire created by Go
to penetrate into the hearts
It will engulf them
in its long columns of flames
