Surah “The Traducer, The Gossipmonger, The Slanderer”

as rendered by Muhammad Mahmoud Ghali — 9 verses

Woe to every persistent slanderer, persistent defamer
Who has gathered wealth and counted it over
He reckons that his wealth has made him eternal
Not at all! Indeed he will definitely be flung off into the Crusher
And what makes you realize what the Crusher is
(It is) the Fire of Allah kindled
Which views the heart-sights
Surely it is vaulted over (i.e., with no outlet) upon them
In pillars widely extended
