In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

Woe to every (kind of) scandal-monger and backbiter,
2
Who piles up wealth and lays it by counting (penny by penny),
3
Thinking that his wealth would make him last for ever!
4
By no means! He will be sure to be thrown into that which breaks to pieces.
5
And what will explain to you that which breaks to pieces?
6
(It is) the Fire of (the Wrath of) Allah kindled (to a blaze),
7
The which mounts (right) to the Hearts:
8
It shall be made into a vault over them,
9
In columns outstretched.
