    The tafsir of Surah Waqiah verse 9 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
    Please refer to Surah Waqiah ayat 1 which provides the complete commentary from verse 1 through 12.

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

    Ala-Maududi

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

    6. The word mashamah in ashab-al-mashamah, in the original, is from shum 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 shum (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-almashamah 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.

    (9) And the companions of the left - what are companions of the left?[1610]

    [1610]- i.e., those given their records in their left hand and who are destined for Hell.
