Surah Al-Masad
 
In the Name of Allāh, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.
  1   Perish the two hands of Abū Lahab ( an uncle of the Prophet ), and perish he!
  2   His wealth and his children ( etc. ) will not benefit him!
  3   He will be burnt in a Fire of blazing flames!
  4   And his wife too, who carries wood ( thorns of Sadan which she used to put on the way of the Prophet, or use to slander him ).
  5   In her neck is a twisted rope of Masad ( palm fibre ).
