Quran 104:1 Tafsir Ibn Kathir
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.
Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
(104:1) Woe to every fault-finding backbiter; *1
Woe to every scorner and mocker meaning
*1) The words used in the original are humazat il-lumazah.
In Arabic hamz and lamz are so close in meaning that they are sometimes used as synonyms and sometimes with a little difference in the shade of meaning.
But this difference is not definite and clear, for the meaning given to lamz by some Arabic speaking people themselves is given to lamz by other Arabic speaking peoples.
On the contrary, the meaning given to harm by some people is given to hamz by others.
Here, since both the words appear together and the words humazat il-lumazat have been used, they give the meaning that it has become a practice with the slanderer that he insults and holds others in contempt habitually.
He raises his finger and winks at one man, finds fault with the lineage and person of another, taunts one in the face and backbites another; creates differences between friends and stirs up divisions between brothers; calls the people names and satirizes and defames them.

Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs
And from his narration on the authority of Ibn ’Abbas that he said about the interpretation of Allah’s saying ( Woe ): ’( Woe ) severe punishment; and it is also said that this refers to a valley in Gehenna which is full of blood and puss; and it is also said that it refers to a well in the Fire ( unto every slandering ) who backbites people ( traducer ) and slanders and abuses them in their face. This verses was revealed about Akhnas Ibn Shurayq, or al-Walid Ibn al-Mughirah al-Makhzumi, who used to backbite the Prophet ( pbuh ) and also abuse him when in his presence.
Muhammad Taqiud-Din alHilali
Woe to every slanderer and backbiter.
We try our best to translate, keeping in mind the Italian saying: "Traduttore, traditore", which means: "Translation is a betrayal of the original text".
