Chapter 104, 9 verses
Wehe jedem Stichler und Nörgler,
Woe to every (kind of) scandal - monger and - backbiter,
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Woe to every slanderer and backbiter.
der Besitz zusammenträgt und ihn zählt und immer wieder zählt,
Who pileth up wealth and layeth it by,
Who has gathered wealth and counted it.
wobei er meint, daß sein Besitz ihn ewig leben ließe!
Thinking that his wealth would make him last for ever!
He thinks that his wealth will make him last forever!
Keineswegs! Er wird ganz gewiß in al-Hutama geworfen werden.
By no means! He will be sure to be thrown into That which Breaks to Pieces,
Nay! Verily, he will be thrown into the crushing Fire.
Was läßt dich wissen, was al-Hutama ist?
And what will explain to thee That which Breaks to Pieces?
And what will make you know what the crushing Fire is?
(Sie ist) Allahs entfachtes Feuer,
(It is) the Fire of (the Wrath of) Allah kindled (to a blaze),
The fire of Allah kindled,
das Einblick in die Herzen gewinnt.
The which doth mount (Right) to the Hearts:
Which leaps up over the hearts,
Gewiß, es wird sie einschließen
It shall be made into a vault over them,
Verily, it shall be closed upon them,
in langgestreckten Säulen.
In columns outstretched.
In pillars stretched forth (i.e. they will be punished in the Fire with pillars).
