[104] Surah Al-Humuzah (The Slanderer)
The translation and Tafsir by Ibn Katheer (in Blue)
"Woe to every slanderer and backbiter." (Al-Humuzah 104:1)
Al-Hammaz refers to (slander) by speech, and Al-Lammaz refers to (slander) by action. This means that the person finds fault with people and belittles them. Ibn `Abbas said, "Humazah Lumazah means one who reviles and disgraces (others).'' Mujahid said, "Al-Humazah is with the hand and the eye, and Al-Lumazah is with the tongue.''
"Who has gathered wealth and counted it," (Al-Humuzah 104:2)
meaning, he gathers it piling some of it on top of the rest and he counts it up. "His wealth occupies his time in the day, going from this to that. Then when the night comes he sleeps like a rotting corpse.''
"He thinks that his wealth will make him last forever!" (Al-Humuzah 104:3)
he thinks that gathering wealth will make him last forever in this abode (the worldly life).
"Nay! Verily, he will be thrown into the crushing Fire." (Al-Humuzah 104:4)
the matter is not as he claims, nor as he reckons. the person who gathered wealth and counted it, will be thrown into Al-Hutamah, which is one of the descriptive names of the Hellfire. This is because it crushes whoever is in it.
"And what will make you know what the crushing Fire is? The fire of Allâh, kindled, Which leaps up over the hearts," (Al-Humuzah 104: 5 - 7)
Thabit Al-Bunani said, "It will burn them all the way to their hearts while they are still alive.'' Then he said, "Indeed the torment will reach them.'' Then he cried. Muhammad bin Ka`b said, "It (the Fire) will devour every part of his body until it reaches his heart and comes to the level of his throat, then it will return to his body.''
"Verily, it shall be closed in on them," (Al-Humuzah 104:8)
Qatadah said "It will be shut and there will be no light in it, no crevice (escape), and no way out of it forever.''
"In pillars stretched forth (i.e. they will be punished in the Fire with pillars, etc.)." (Al-Humuzah 104:9)
"Atiyah Al-`Awfi said, "Pillars of Iron.'' As-Suddi said, "Made of fire.'' Al-`Awfi reported from Ibn `Abbas, "He will make them enter pillars stretched forth, meaning there will be columns over them, and they will have chains on their necks, and the gates (of Hell) will be shut upon them.''
