اصحاب المشئمة (those on the left hand). مشئمة is derived from أشأم which means, he desired the left, as أیمن signifies, he desired the right. ما أشأمه means, how unlucky he is! مشئمة means, the left side or direction; contrary to یمنة and میمنة. They say نظرت یمنة وشأمة i.e. I looked in the right and in the left direction (Lane & Aqrab).

In v. 42 this group of disbelievers have been called اصحاب الشمال i.e. companions of the left hand. In 12:54 the Quran describes them as النفس الامارة (the spirit prone to evil), i.e. those who choose not to walk in the light of wisdom and knowledge but are led into iniquities and immoral paths.
