9. And (another group will be) those on the left—how unfortunate are those on the left [6]!
[6] ﴿شمال﴾ means both the left hand, the left side, and also the unfortunate. That is, those people who will receive their record of deeds in their left hand will be made to stand on the left side of Allah. And these will be the unfortunate people of Hell. As is also evident from the aforementioned hadith.
