Surah Al Humazah Tafseer

Allah Says:

وَيْلٌ لِّكُلِّ هُمَزَةٍ لُّمَزَةٍ

Woe to every Humazah Lumazah.

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. An explanation of this has already preceded in the discussion of Allah's statement,

هَمَّازٍ مَّشَّأءِ بِنَمِيمٍ

Hammaz, going about with slander (68:11)

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."

Then Allah says,

الَّذِي جَمَعَ مَالاً وَعَدَّدَهُ
