Al-Hutamah
"Woe to every backbitter. The Imam al-Baghawi says it is the division of Hell specially reserved for the Jews. 
. A division of Hell, mentioned in the Qur’an, Surah civ: -
Who amasseth wealth and storeth it against the future!
He thinketh surely that his wealth shall be with him for ever.
Nay! For verily he shall be flung into al-hutamah,
And who shall teach thee what al-hutamah is?
It is God ‘s kindled fire,
Which shall mount above the hearts of the damned;
It shall verily rise over them like a vault,
On outstretched columns."
