(1. Woe t o every Humazah Lumazah.) (2. Who has gat hered wealt h and count ed it .) (3. He
t hinks t hat his wealt h will make him last forever!) (4. But no! Verily, he will be t hrown int o AlHut amah.) (5. And what will make you know what Al-Hut amah is) (6. The fire of Allah, AlMuqadah,) (7. Which leaps up over t he heart s.) (8. Verily, it shall Mu'sadah upon t hem,) (9. In
pillars st ret ched fort h.) Al-Hammaz refers t o (slander) by speech, and Al-Lammaz refers t o
(slander) by act ion. This means t hat t he person finds fault wit h people and belit t les t hem. An
explanat ion of t his has already preceded in t he discussion of Allah's st at ement ,

(Hammaz, going about wit h slander) (68:11) Ibn ` Abbas said, "Humazah Lumazah means one
who reviles and disgraces (ot hers).'' Muj ahid said, "Al-Humazah is wit h t he hand and t he eye,
and Al-Lumazah is wit h t he t ongue.'' Then Allah says,
びロ⊥ キ∠ ギｚハ
∠ ヱ∠ Ι
⇔ ゅ∠ョノ∠ ヨ∠ ィ
∠ ン͡グャｚやぴ
(Who has gat hered wealt h and count ed it .) meaning, he gat hers it piling some of it on t op of
t he rest and he count s it up. This is similar t o Allah's saying,
びヴ∠ハ∇ヱほ∠プ∠ ノ∠ ヨ∠ ィ
∠ ヱ∠ ぴ
(And collect (wealt h) and hide it .) (70:18) This was said by As-Suddi and Ibn Jarir. Muhammad
bin Ka` b said concerning Allah's st at ement ,

∠ ヱ∠ Ι

(gat hered wealt h and count ed it .) "His wealt h occupies his t ime in t he day, going from t his t o
t hat . Then when t he night comes he sleeps like a rot t ing corpse.'' Then Allah says,

∠ ∇エΑ∠ ぴ
(He t hinks t hat his wealt h will make him last forever!) meaning, he t hinks t hat gat hering
wealt h will make him last forever in t his abode (t he worldly life).
びｚΚミ∠ ぴ
(But no!) meaning, t he mat t er is not as he claims, nor as he reckons. Then Allah says,
び͡るヨ∠ ト
∠エ
⊥ ∇ャやヴ͡プラ
ｚ ∠グ∠らレ⊥Β∠ャぴ
(Verily, he will be t hrown int o Al-Hut amah.) meaning, t he person who gat hered wealt h and
count ed it , will be t hrown int o Al-Hut amah, which is one of t he descript ive names of t he
Hellfire. This is because it crushes whoever is in it . Thus, Allah says,

(And what will make you know what Al-Hut amah is The fire of Allah, Al-Muqadah, which leaps
up over t he heart s.) Thabit Al-Bunani said, "It will burn t hem all t he way t o t heir heart s while
t hey are st ill alive.'' Then he said, "Indeed t he t orment will reach t hem.'' Then he cried.
Muhammad bin Ka` b said, "It (t he Fire) will devour every part of his body unt il it reaches his
heart and comes t o t he level of his t hroat , t hen it will ret urn t o his body.''
Concerning Allah's statement,
びり∀ ギ∠ タ
∠ ∇ぽョぁユ͡ヰ∇Βヤ∠ハ
∠ ゅ∠ヰルｚま͡ぴ
(Verily, it shall Mu'sadah upon t hem.) meaning, covering, j ust as was ment ioned in t he Tafsir of
Surat Al-Balad (see 90:20). Then Allah says,

(In pillars st ret ched fort h. ) "At iyah Al-` Awfi said, "Pillars of Iron.'' As-Suddi said, "Made of fire.''
Al-` Awfi report ed from Ibn ` Abbas, "He will make t hem ent er pillars st ret ched fort h, meaning
t here will be columns over t hem, and t hey will have chains on t heir necks, and t he gat es (of
Hell) will be shut upon t hem.'' This is t he end of t he Tafsir of Surat Al-Humazah, and all praise
and t hanks are due t o Allah.

(1. Have you not seen how your Lord dealt wit h t he Owners of t he Elephant ) (2. Did He not
make t heir plot go ast ray) (3. And He sent against t hem birds, in flocks (Ababil).) (4. St riking
