Tafsir Commentary
Nay! — a repudiation — He will surely be flung la-yunbadhanna is the response to an omitted oath that is he will be hurled down into the Crusher that crushes everything that is thrown into it.
But no, he will be thrown into the Crusher. It will not be like what they fancy and will not be as they hope. In truth, at the resurrection they will be thrown into hell. They will be held captive in abasement and misery in the depths of the Crusher, their hands and feet fettered, stretched with a chain of seventy gaz, without hope for the mercy of the Real.

ليس الأمر كما ظن، ليُطرحنَّ في النار التي تهشم كل ما يُلْقى فيها.
أي ليلقين هذا الذي جمع مالا فعدده في الحطمة وهي اسم طبقة من أسماء النار لأنها تحطم من فيها.
ثم بين - سبحانه - بعد ذلك سوء عاقبة هذا الجاهل المغرور فقال : ( كَلاَّ لَيُنبَذَنَّ فِي الحطمة . وَمَآ أَدْرَاكَ مَا الحطمة ) .و " كلا " حرف زجر وردع ، والمراد به هنا إبطال ما توهمه هذا المغرور من حسبانه أن ماله سيخلده . والنبذ : الطرح للشئ والإِلقاء به مع التحقير والتصغير من شأنه .والحُطَمة من الحَطْم ، وهو كسر الشئ بشدة وقوة ، ويقال : رجل حطمة ، إذا كان شديداً فى تحطيمه وكسره لغيره ، والمراد بالحطمة هنا : النارر الشديدة الاشتعال : التى لا تبقى على شئ إلا وأحرقته .أى : كلا ليس الأمر كما زعم هذا الهمزة واللمزة ، من أن ماله سيخلده ، بل الحق أنه والله ليطرحن بسبب أفعاله القبيحة فى النار التى تحطم كل شئ يلقى فيها ، والتى لا يعرف مقدار شدتها واشتعالها إلا الله - تعالى - .
وقوله: ( كَلا ) يقول تعالى ذكره: ما ذلك كما ظنّ, ليس ماله مخلِّده,ثم أخبر جلّ ثناؤه أنه هالك ومعذب على أفعاله ومعاصيه, التي كان يأتيها في الدنيا, فقال جل ثناؤه: ( لَيُنْبَذَنَّ فِي الْحُطَمَةِ ) يقول: ليُقذفنّ يوم القيامة في الحطمة, والحطمة: اسم من أسماء النار, كما قيل لها: جهنم وسقر ولظى, وأحسبها سميت بذلك لحطمها كلّ ما ألقي فيها, كما يقال للرجل الأكول: الحطمة. ذكر عن الحسن البصري أنه كان يقرأ ذلك: " لَيُنْبَذَانِّ فِي الحُطَمَةِ" يعني: هذا الهمزة اللمزة وماله, فثنَّاه لذلك.
"كلا"، رداً عليه أن لا يخلده ماله، "لينبذن"، ليطرحن، "في الحطمة"، في جهنم، والحكمة من أسماء النار، مثل: سقر، ولظى، سميت حطمة لأنها تحطم العظام وتكسرها.
كَلَّا لَيُنْبَذَنَّ فِي الْحُطَمَةِ (4) و { كلاّ } إبطال لأن يكون المال مُخلدّاً لهم . وزجر عن التلبس بالحالة الشنيعة التي جعلتهم في حال من يحسب أن المال يخلد صاحبه ، أو إبطال للحرص في جمع المال جمعاً يمنع به حقوق الله في المال من نفقات وزكاة .{ كَلاَّ لَيُنبَذَنَّ فِى } { الحطمة * وَمَآ أَدْرَاكَ مَا الحطمة * نَارُ الله الموقدة * التى تَطَّلِعُ عَلَى الافئدة } .استئناف بياني ناشىء عن ما تضمنته جملة : { يحسب أن ماله أخلده } من التهكم والإِنكار ، وما أفاده حرف الزجر من معنى التوعد .والمعنى : ليَهْلِكَنَّ فَليُنْبَذَنَّ في الحُطمة .واللام جواب قسم محذوف . والضمير عائد إلى الهمزة .والنبذ : الإِلقاء والطرح ، وأكثر استعماله في إلقاء ما يكره . قال صاحب «الكشاف» في قوله تعالى : { فأخذناه وجنوده فنبذناهم في اليم } [ القصص : 40 ] شبههم استحقاراً لهم بحَصَيات أخذَهُن آخذٌ بكفه فطرحهن اه .والحُطمة : صفة بوزن فُعَلَة ، مثل ما تقدم في الهُمزة ، أي لينبذن في شيء يحطمه ، أي يكسره ويدقه .والظاهر أن اللام لتعريف العهد لأنه اعتبر الوصف علماً بالغلبة على شيء يحطم وأريد بذلك جهنم ، وأن إطلاق هذا الوصف على جهنم من مصطلحات القرآن . وليس في كلام العرب إطلاق هذا الوصف على النار .
{ كَلَّا لَيُنْبَذَنَّ } أي: ليطرحن { فِي الْحُطَمَةِ}
كلا رد لما توهمه الكافر ; أي لا يخلد ولا يبقى له مال . وقد مضى القول في كلا مستوفى . وقال عمر بن عبد الله مولى غفرة : إذا سمعت الله - عز وجل - يقول كلا فإنه يقول كذبت .لينبذن أي ليطرحن وليلقين . وقرأ الحسن ومحمد بن كعب ونصر بن عاصم ومجاهد وحميد وابن محيصن : [ ص: 166 ] لينبذان بالتثنية ، أي هو وماله . وعن الحسن أيضا لينبذنه على معنى لينبذن ماله . وعنه أيضا بالنون لننبذنه على إخبار الله تعالى عن نفسه ، وأنه ينبذ صاحب المال . وعنه أيضا لينبذن بضم الذال ; على أن المراد الهمزة واللمزة والمال وجامعه .في الحطمة وهي نار الله ; سميت بذلك لأنها تكسر كل ما يلقى فيها وتحطمه وتهشمه . قال الراجز :إنا حطمنا بالقضيب مصعبا يوم كسرنا أنفه ليغضباوهي الطبقة السادسة من طبقات جهنم . حكاه الماوردي عن الكلبي . وحكى القشيري عنه : الحطمة الدركة الثانية من درك النار . وقال الضحاك : وهي الدرك الرابع . ابن زيد : اسم من أسماء جهنم .
If a man has a difference with another, he can settle it by argument. But it is not proper for him to denigrate the other person, defame him and make him the target of allegations. While the first course of action is legitimate, the second is not. Those who resort to calumny, do so because they see that their worldly position is safe and strong. They think that they are not going to lose anything if they level baseless allegations against another. But this is mere foolishness. The fact is that their doing so amounts to jumping into a pit of fire—a pit of fire from which there will be no escape.
The third evil quality denounced severely in this Surah is greed, that is, the selfish hoarding of wealth, against which is the stern warning of the dreadful end of those who have passion for worldly riches. This verse, however, refers to the love of, and passion for, wealth which is accumulated and counted over and over again. Other verses and Ahadith bear testimony to the fact that amassing of wealth in principle is not prohibited or sinful. Therefore, verse [ 2] must be interpreted in the light of those verses and traditions. This verse purports to say that anyone who accumulates wealth and does not pay his obligatory dues or has greed for wealth that leads him to pride and arrogance, or has love of wealth that engrosses him in the hoarding of wealth so profoundly that he forgets his religious obligations, his practice is condemned in the strongest terms, and a person attaching such profound love, greed and passion for material riches will suffer eternal perdition as described in the verses that follow.
(Nay) this is a reply to him: it will not render him immortal in the life of the world, (but verily he will be flung to the Consuming One.
Which was revealed in Makkah
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـنِ الرَّحِيمِ
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
هَمَّازٍ مَّشَّآءِ 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,
الَّذِى جَمَعَ مَالاً وَعَدَّدَهُ
(Who has gathered wealth and counted it.) meaning, he gathers it piling some of it on top of the rest and he counts it up. This is similar to Allah's saying,
وَجَمَعَ فَأَوْعَى
(And collect (wealth) and hide it.) (70:18) This was said by As-Suddi and Ibn Jarir. Muhammad bin Ka`b said concerning Allah's statement,
جَمَعَ مَالاً وَعَدَّدَهُ
(gathered wealth and counted it.) "His wealth occupies his time in the day, going from this to that. Then when the night comes he sleeps like a rotting corpse." Then Allah says,
يَحْسَبُ أَنَّ مَالَهُ أَخْلَدَهُ
(He thinks that his wealth will make him last forever!) meaning, he thinks that gathering wealth will make him last forever in this abode (the worldly life).
كَلاَّ
(But no!) meaning, the matter is not as he claims, nor as he reckons. Then Allah says,
لَيُنبَذَنَّ فِى الْحُطَمَةِ
(Verily, he will be thrown into Al-Hutamah.) meaning, 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. Thus, Allah says,
وَمَآ أَدْرَاكَ مَا الْحُطَمَةُ - نَارُ اللَّهِ الْمُوقَدَةُ - الَّتِى تَطَّلِعُ عَلَى الاٌّفْئِدَةِ
(And what will make you know what Al-Hutamah is The fire of Allah, Al-Muqadah, which leaps up over the hearts.) 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."
Concerning Allah's statement,
إِنَّهَا عَلَيْهِم مُّؤْصَدَةٌ
(Verily, it shall Mu'sadah upon them.) meaning, covering, just as was mentioned in the Tafsir of Surat Al-Balad (see 90:20). Then Allah says,
فِى عَمَدٍ مُّمَدَّدَةِ
(In pillars stretched forth. ) "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." This is the end of the Tafsir of Surat Al-Humazah, and all praise and thanks are due to Allah.
