Chapter 104, 9 verses
Wehe jedem Stichler und Nörgler,
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Woe unto every slandering traducer,
Woe to every (kind of) scandal - monger and - backbiter,
der Besitz zusammenträgt und ihn zählt und immer wieder zählt,
Who hath gathered wealth (of this world) and arranged it.
Who pileth up wealth and layeth it by,
wobei er meint, daß sein Besitz ihn ewig leben ließe!
He thinketh that his wealth will render him immortal.
Thinking that his wealth would make him last for ever!
Keineswegs! Er wird ganz gewiß in al-Hutama geworfen werden.
Nay, but verily he will be flung to the Consuming One.
By no means! He will be sure to be thrown into That which Breaks to Pieces,
Was läßt dich wissen, was al-Hutama ist?
Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Consuming One is!
And what will explain to thee That which Breaks to Pieces?
(Sie ist) Allahs entfachtes Feuer,
(It is) the fire of Allah, kindled,
(It is) the Fire of (the Wrath of) Allah kindled (to a blaze),
das Einblick in die Herzen gewinnt.
Which leapeth up over the hearts (of men).
The which doth mount (Right) to the Hearts:
Gewiß, es wird sie einschließen
Lo! it is closed in on them
It shall be made into a vault over them,
in langgestreckten Säulen.
In outstretched columns.
In columns outstretched.
