One who speaks lashon hara is afflicted with tzara’at. Rashi comments # 26347-EYAL-6
that after one’s house is afflicted and he consequently demolishes it, he
will find treasures in its walls. Why does he merit this?
Certainly, the primary purpose of demolishing the house is because of the
tumah of tzara’at. This serves as a punishment for one who slanders.
Notwithstanding, Hashem arranges that he should then find the treasures
hidden by the Amorites as compensation.
