Surah “The Traducer, The Gossipmonger, The Slanderer”

as rendered by Syed Vickar Ahamed — 9 verses

Grief (and warning) to every Scandal-monger and backbiter
Who piles up wealth and lays it by
Thinking that his wealth would make him last for ever
By no means! He will be sure to be thrown into that which breaks to pieces
And what will explain to you that which breaks to Pieces
(It is) the Fire of Allah lighted up (to a flame)
The (Fire) which rises to the heart
It shall be made to cover over them
In pillars stretched out
