Amongst those whose verbal abuse was the most offensive was Umayyah, Khalaf's son.
Whenever he saw the Prophet (salla Allahu alihi wa sallam) he seized the opportunity to
hurl slanderous, backbiting statements at him. It was during this time that Allah sent
down verses that warned of the punishment of backbiters and slanderers:
"Woe to every backbiter, slanderer who amasses wealth and counts it,
thinking his wealth will render him immortal!
On the contrary! He shall be flung to the Crusher.
What shall let you know what the Crusher is?
(It is) the kindled Fire of Allah, which shall oversee the hearts,
closed around them in extended columns."
