بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

وَيْلٌ لِّكُلِّ هُمَزَةٍ لُّمَزَةٍ
Abdel Haleem
Woe to every fault-finding backbite
Hafiz Ibn Kathir

الهماز بالقول واللماز بالفعل يعني يزدري الناس وينتقص بهم وقد تقدم بيان ذلك في قوله تعالى "هماز مشاء بنميم" قال ابن عباس همزة لمزة طعان معياب. وقال الربيع بن أنس الهمزة يهمزه في وجهه واللمزة من خلفه. وقال قتادة الهمزة واللمزة لسانه وعينه ويأكل لحوم الناس ويطعن عليهم. وقال مجاهد الهمزة باليد والعين واللمزة باللسان وهكذا قال ابن زيد. وقال مالك عن زيد بن أسلم همزة لحوم الناس ثم قال بعضهم المراد بذلك الأخنس بن شريق وقيل غيره وقال مجاهد هي عامة.
