Surah “The Traducer, The Gossipmonger, The Slanderer”

as rendered by Abdul Hye — 9 verses

Woe to every slanderer and backbiter,
who gathers wealth and counts it.
One who thinks that his wealth will make him last forever!
Nay! Surely, he will be thrown into the crushing fire.
What will make you know what the crushing fire is?
The fire kindled by Allah.
The one who will leap up over the hearts,
surely, it will close on them (from all sides),
in outstretched pillars (of fire).
