Woe to every slanderer, defamer,
Who collects wealth and [continuously] counts it.

Who amasses wealth and considers it a provision (against mishap);

No! He will surely be thrown into the Crusher.
كلا ۖ لينبذن في الحطمة
Nay, but verily he will be flung to the Consuming One.
Nay! he shall most certainly be hurled into the crushing disaster,
And what can make you know what is the Crusher?
وما أدراك ما الحطمة
Ah, what will convey unto thee what the Consuming One is!
And what will make you realize what the crushing disaster is?
It is the fire of Allah, [eternally] fueled,
نار الله الموقدة
(It is) the fire of Allah, kindled,
It is the fire kindled by Allah,
Which mounts directed at the hearts.
التي تطلع على الأفئدة
Which leapeth up over the hearts (of men).
Which rises above the hearts.
Indeed, Hellfire will be closed down upon them
إنها عليهم مؤصدة
Lo! it is closed in on them
Surely it shall be closed over upon them,
In extended columns.
في عمد ممددة
In outstretched columns.
In extended columns.
