Al-Masad

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 1

تَبَّتۡ يَدَآ أَبِي لَهَبٖ وَتَبَّ

May the hands of Abu Lahab^[1] perish, and may he perish!

[1] i.e., the Prophet's uncle, who was one of the staunchest enemies of Islam.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 2

مَآ أَغۡنَىٰ عَنۡهُ مَالُهُۥ وَمَا كَسَبَ

Neither his wealth nor his worldly gains will avail him.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 3

سَيَصۡلَىٰ نَارٗا ذَاتَ لَهَبٖ

He will burn in a Flaming Fire,

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 4

وَٱمۡرَأَتُهُۥ حَمَّالَةَ ٱلۡحَطَبِ

and so will his wife^[2], the carrier of firewood,

[2] i.e., ’Um Jamīl, who used to throw thorny branches in the Prophet's way and she used to slander him (ﷺ). The word hatab (firewood) was used by the Arabs to allude to slander and backbiting.

ߟߝߊߙߌ ߘߏ߫: 5

فِي جِيدِهَا حَبۡلٞ مِّن مَّسَدِۭ

around her neck will be a rope of palm fiber^[3].

[3] This surah was one of the earliest surahs revealed in Makkah, yet Abu Lahab persisted in disbelief. For him to disprove the Qur’an, all he had to do was to accept Islam, for the Qur’an condemned him to Hell.
