"The Holy Quran", tr. by Yusuf Ali, [1934],

p. 1789

Sra Civ.

\"HUMAZA," Or The Scandal-monger.

In the name of God, Most Gracious,

Most Merciful.

1.
Woe to every

(Kind of) scandal-monger

And backbiter,

2.
Who pileth up wealth

And layeth it by,

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 thee That which Breaks

To Pieces?

6.
(It is) the Fire

Of (the Wrath of) God

Kindled (to a blaze),

7.
The which doth mount

(Right) to the Hearts:

p. 1790

8.
It shall be made

Into a vault over them,

9. In columns outstretched.

p. 1791
