Tafseer of The Traducer · Al-Humaza · 104:4
No! He will surely be thrown into the Crusher.

And His word: كَلَّا — the Exalted, whose praise is great, says: It is not so, as he supposed; his wealth will not make him immortal.
Then the Exalted, whose praise is lofty, informs us that he will perish and be punished on account of his deeds and his sins, which he committed in this worldly life. So the Exalted, whose praise is lofty, says: لَيُنْبَذَنَّ فِي الْحُطَمَةِ — that is to say: on the Day of Resurrection he will surely be cast into al-Ḥuṭama. Al-Ḥuṭama is one of the names of the Fire, just as it is also called "Jahannam," "Saqar," and "Laẓā." In my opinion, the name al-Ḥuṭama derives from the fact that the Fire crushes everything that is thrown into it — just as a voracious person is called al-ḥuṭama.
It has been related that al-Ḥasan al-Baṣrī recited this verse as follows: "layunbadhāni fī al-Ḥuṭama" — that is to say: the slanderer and his wealth — and that he therefore read it in the dual form.
