104:1

وَيْلٌ لِّكُلِّ هُمَزَةٍ لُّمَزَةٍ

Woe to every backbiter, slanderer,

104:2

الَّذِي جَمَعَ مَالًا وَعَدَّدَهُ

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

104:3

يَحْسَبُ أَنَّ مَالَهُ أَخْلَدَهُ

thinking that their wealth will make them immortal!

104:4

كَلَّا ۖ لَيُنبَذَنَّ فِي الْحُطَمَةِ

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

104:5

وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الْحُطَمَةُ

And what will make you realize what the Crusher is?

104:6

نَارُ اللَّهِ الْمُوقَدَةُ

˹It is˺ Allah’s kindled Fire,

104:7

الَّتِي تَطَّلِعُ عَلَى الْأَفْئِدَةِ

which rages over the hearts.

104:8

إِنَّهَا عَلَيْهِم مُّؤْصَدَةٌ

It will be sealed over them,

104:9

فِي عَمَدٍ مُّمَدَّدَةٍ

˹tightly secured˺ with long braces.¹
