In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Ever-Merciful.

Woe to every person who gestures at you and slanders you [O Prophet!] He who amassed wealth and has counted it over. He thinks that his wealth has rendered him immortal.

By no means! He shall surely be flung into that which crushes into pieces. And what do you know what that which crushes is? A fire kindled by God which will reach the hearts. These [rebellious people] will be enshrouded in it, fettered and fastened to high columns.
