سورة الهمزة

The Traducer9 ayat Makkiyyah

Translated by A. J. Arberry

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

1

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَيْلٌ لِكُلِّ هُمَزَةٍ لُمَزَةٍ

Woe unto every backbiter, slanderer,

2

الَّذِي جَمَعَ مَالًا وَعَدَّدَهُ

who has gathered riches and counted them over

3

يَحْسَبُ أَنَّ مَالَهُ أَخْلَدَهُ

thinking his riches have made him immortal!

4

كَلَّا ۖ لَيُنْبَذَنَّ فِي الْحُطَمَةِ

No indeed; he shall be thrust into the Crusher;

5

وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الْحُطَمَةُ

and what shall teach thee what is the Crusher;

6

نَارُ اللَّهِ الْمُوقَدَةُ

The Fire of God kindled

7

الَّتِي تَطَّلِعُ عَلَى الْأَفْئِدَةِ

roaring over the hearts

8

إِنَّهَا عَلَيْهِمْ مُؤْصَدَةٌ

covered down upon them,

9

فِي عَمَدٍ مُمَدَّدَةٍ

in columns outstretched.
