Chapter 104

وَيْلٌ لِّكُلِّ هُمَزَةٍ لُّمَزَةٍ

Woe to every backbiter, slanderer,

ٱلَّذِى جَمَعَ مَالًا وَعَدَّدَهُۥ

who amasses wealth ˹greedily˺ and counts it ˹repeatedly˺,

يَحْسَبُ أَنَّ مَالَهُۥٓ أَخْلَدَهُۥ

thinking that their wealth will make them immortal!

كَلَّا ۖ لَيُنۢبَذَنَّ فِى ٱلْحُطَمَةِ

Not at all! Such a person will certainly be tossed into the Crusher.

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْحُطَمَةُ

And what will make you realize what the Crusher is?

نَارُ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُوقَدَةُ

˹It is˺ Allah’s kindled Fire,

ٱلَّتِى تَطَّلِعُ عَلَى ٱلْأَفْـِٔدَةِ

which rages over the hearts.

إِنَّهَا عَلَيْهِم مُّؤْصَدَةٌ

It will be sealed over them,

فِى عَمَدٍ مُّمَدَّدَةٍۭ

˹tightly secured˺ with long braces.
