Al-Humazah (Arabic: الهمزة: "The Backbiter",[1] "The Slanderer",[2] or "The Scorner"[3]) is the 104th chapter (sūrah) of the Qur'an, with 9 āyāt or verses.

۝[4] Woe to every backbiter, slanderer,
۝ who amasses wealth ˹greedily˺ and counts it ˹repeatedly˺,
۝ thinking that their wealth will make them immortal!
۝ Not at all! Such a person will certainly be tossed into the Crusher.
۝ And what will make you realize what the Crusher is?
۝ ˹It is˺ Allah’s kindled Fire,
۝ which rages over the hearts.
۝ It will be sealed over them,
۝ ˹tightly secured˺ with long braces.[5]
The Surah takes its name from the word humazah occurring in the first verse. The main statement[according to whom?] in this surah is the Consequences of man in loss. It condemns those who slander others, whether by speech or action, and imagine that their own wealth will keep them immune from death, and describes the doom of Hell which awaits them.

Regarding the timing and contextual background of the revelation (asbāb al-nuzūl), it is an earlier "Meccan surah", which means it is believed to have been revealed in Mecca, rather than later in Medina.
