Surah 104. Al-Humaza, Ayah 1
| وَيْلٌ لِكُلِّ هُمَزَةٍ لُمَزَةٍ |
| Transliteration | : | wayl li- kull humazah lumazah |
| Pickthall | : | Woe unto every slandering traducer, |
| Asad | : | WOE unto every slanderer, fault-finder!1 |
| Malik | : | Woe to every slanderer and defamer, |
| Yusuf Ali | : | Woe to every (kind of) scandal-monger and backbiter 6266 |
Note - 6266Three vices are here condemned in the strongest terms:
(1) scandal-mongering, talking or suggesting evil of men
or women by word or innuendo, or behaviour, or mimicry,
or sarcasm, or insult; (2) detracting from their
character behind their backs, even if the things
suggested are true, where the motive is evil; (3) piling
up wealth, not for use and service to those who need it,
but in miserly hoards, as if such hoards can prolong the
miser's life or give him immortality: miserliness is
itself a kind of scandal.
