And the companions of the left - what are the companions of (56:9)

Almuntakhab Fi Tafsir Alquran Alkarim

A position on the left side which of right belongs to those who had eagerly earned their position on the left. Among them are those who denied Allah and the hypocrites who assumed a false appearance of virtue and goodness with dissimulation of real character and inclinations and also those who counselled deaf to Allahs ordinances. These had Allah destined to hell where they make abode

Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi

(56:9) And the People on the Left: *6 and how miserable will be the People on the Left!

And the companions of the left - what are the companions of meaning

*6) The word mash 'amah in ashab al-mash'amah, in the original, is from shu'm which means misfortune, ill-luck and bad omen; in Arabic the left hand also is called shuma. The Arabs regarded shimal (the left hand) and shu'm (bad omen) as synonyms, the left hand being a symbol of weakness and indignity. If a bird flew left on the commencement of a journey, they would take it as a bad omen; if they made a person sit on their left, it meant they regarded him as a weak man. Therefore, ashab al-mash'amah implies ill-omened people, or those who would suffer disgrace and ignominy, and would be made to stand on the left side in the Court of Allah.
