Firewood

وَأَمَّا ٱلْقَـٰسِطُونَ فَكَانُوا۟ لِجَهَنَّمَ حَطَبًا

but those who go wrong will be fuel for Hellfire.” ’

تَبَّتْ يَدَآ أَبِى لَهَبٍ وَتَبَّ

May the hands of Abu Lahab be ruined! May he be ruined too!

مَآ أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُ مَالُهُۥ وَمَا كَسَبَ

Neither his wealth nor his gains will help him:

سَيَصْلَىٰ نَارًا ذَاتَ لَهَبٍ

he will burn in the Flaming Fire––

وَٱمْرَأَتُهُۥ حَمَّالَةَ ٱلْحَطَبِ

and so will his wife, the firewood-carrier,

فِى جِيدِهَا حَبْلٌ مِّن مَّسَدٍۭ

with a palm-fibre rope around her neck.
