1. Woe to everyone who slanders (face to face) and finds fault (in absence)!

2. (Woe to him) who accumulates wealth and keeps counting it!

3. He thinks that his riches will keep him alive forever.

4. By no means! He will certainly be cast into al-Hutama (the crushing up Fire).

5. And what will make you understand what al-Hutama (the crushing up Fire) is?

6. (It) is a Fire kindled by Allah.

7. That will rise over the hearts (with its torture).

8. Indeed, that (Fire) will be closed upon them all around,

9. In towering columns (of fierce flames and they will not find any way to escape).
