وَيْلٌۭ لِّكُلِّ هُمَزَةٍۢ لُّمَزَةٍ ١

Woe to every backbiter, slanderer,

ٱلَّذِى جَمَعَ مَالًۭا وَعَدَّدَهُۥ ٢

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

يَحْسَبُ أَنَّ مَالَهُۥٓ أَخْلَدَهُۥ ٣

thinking that their wealth will make them immortal!

كَلَّا ۖ لَيُنۢبَذَنَّ فِى ٱلْحُطَمَةِ ٤

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

وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا ٱلْحُطَمَةُ ٥

And what will make you realize what the Crusher is?

نَارُ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْمُوقَدَةُ ٦

˹It is˺ Allah’s kindled Fire,

ٱلَّتِى تَطَّلِعُ عَلَى ٱلْأَفْـِٔدَةِ ٧

which rages over the hearts.

إِنَّهَا عَلَيْهِم مُّؤْصَدَةٌۭ ٨

It will be sealed over them,

فِى عَمَدٍۢ مُّمَدَّدَةٍۭ ٩

˹tightly secured˺ with long braces.
