Chapter 104, 9 verses
Wehe jedem Stichler und Nörgler,
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَيْلٌ لِّكُلِّ هُمَزَةٍ لُّمَزَةٍ
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Woe unto every slandering traducer,
der Besitz zusammenträgt und ihn zählt und immer wieder zählt,
الَّذِي جَمَعَ مَالًا وَعَدَّدَهُ
Who hath gathered wealth (of this world) and arranged it.
wobei er meint, daß sein Besitz ihn ewig leben ließe!
يَحْسَبُ أَنَّ مَالَهُ أَخْلَدَهُ
He thinketh that his wealth will render him immortal.
Keineswegs! Er wird ganz gewiß in al-Hutama geworfen werden.
كَلَّا ۖ لَيُنبَذَنَّ فِي الْحُطَمَةِ
Nay, but verily he will be flung to the Consuming One.
Was läßt dich wissen, was al-Hutama ist?
وَمَا أَدْرَاكَ مَا الْحُطَمَةُ
Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Consuming One is!
(Sie ist) Allahs entfachtes Feuer,
نَارُ اللَّهِ الْمُوقَدَةُ
(It is) the fire of Allah, kindled,
das Einblick in die Herzen gewinnt.
الَّتِي تَطَّلِعُ عَلَى الْأَفْئِدَةِ
Which leapeth up over the hearts (of men).
Gewiß, es wird sie einschließen
إِنَّهَا عَلَيْهِم مُّؤْصَدَةٌ
Lo! it is closed in on them
in langgestreckten Säulen.
فِي عَمَدٍ مُّمَدَّدَةٍ
In outstretched columns.
