1 Woe to every slanderer, defamer,

2 Who amasses wealth and considers it a provision (against mishap);

3 He thinks that his wealth will make him immortal.

4 Nay! he shall most certainly be hurled into the crushing disaster,

5 And what will make you realize what the crushing disaster is?

6 It is the fire kindled by Allah,

7 Which rises above the hearts.

8 Surely it shall be closed over upon them,

9 In extended columns.
