"Shamat" expresses a reproach that is uttered by enemies with hostile motives and joy at the failure of others. "Madhmum" refers to a reproach that is the result of an individual's improper action. "Mu'tabin" refers to a type of reproach where the listener has the opportunity to defend themselves. "Haz'" refers to the mockery or reproach of individuals who hold high social status.
