Sûrat Al- Masad
( The Palm Fibre ) CXI
In the Name of Allâh,
the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
1. Perish the two hands of Abû Lahab ( an uncle of the Prophet ) and perish he! [ 1 ]
2. His wealth and his children 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 Sa‘dân which she used to put on the way of the Prophet ( saas ) , or use to slander him ) . [ 2 ]
5. In her neck is a twisted rope of Masad ( palm fibre ) . [ 3 ]

[1] (V.111:1) Narrated Ibn ‘Abbâs (raa) : "When the Verse, ‘And warn your tribe (O Muhammad (saas)) of near kindred.’ (V.26:214) was revealed, Allâh’s Messenger (saas) went out, and when he had ascended As-Safâ mountain, he shouted, ‘Yâ Sabâhâh !’* The people said, ‘What is that?’ Then they gathered around him, whereupon he said, ‘Do you see? If I inform you that cavalrymen are proceeding up the side of this mountain, will you believe me?’ They said, ‘We have never heard you telling a lie.’ Then he said, ‘I am a plain warner to you of a coming severe punishment.’ Abû Lahab said, ‘May you perish! You gathered us only for this reason?’ Then Abu Lahab went away. So [Sûrat Al-Masad] ‘Perish the hands of Abu Lahab!’ was revealed. (V.111:1). (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol. 6, Hadith No.495).
* « Yâ Sabâhâh! » is an Arabic expression used when one appeals for help or draws the attention of others to some danger.

[2] (V.111:4) ‘And his wife too, who carries wood.’ Mujâhid said, ‘Carries the wood’ means that she used to slander (the Prophet (saas)) and goes about with calumnies.

[3] (V.111:5) "In her neck is a twisted rope of palm fibre, [i.e. the chain which is in the Fire (of Hell)]." (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol. 6, Chapter 356, Page 469).

[Imâm Qurtubî says in the Tafsîr of the (V.17:45)]:
Narrated Sa‘îd bin Jubâir ( raa ) : « When Sûrah No.111 Al- Masad was revealed, the wife of Abu Lahab came looking out for the Prophet ( saas ) while Abu Bakr ( raa ) was sitting beside him. Abu Bakr said to the Prophet ( saas ) : ‘I wish if you get aside ( or go away ) as she is coming, to us, she may harm you’. The Prophet said: ‘There will be a screen set between me and her’. So she did not see him ( saas ) . She said to Abu Bakr: ‘Your companion is saying poetry against me.’ Abu Bakr said: ‘By Allâh he does not say poetry.’ She said: ‘Do you believe that’. Then she left. Abu Bakr said, ‘O Allâh’s Messenger! She did not see you’. The Prophet ( saas ) said: ‘An angel was screening me from her.’ » [ This Hadith is quoted in Musnad Abû Ya‘lâ ]
It is said that if the Verse [ ( 17: 45 ) The Qur’an ] is recited by a real believer ( of Islâmic Monotheism ) he will be screened from a disbeliever. ( Allâh knows best ) . ( Tafsîr Al- Qurtubî, Vol.10, Page 269 ) .
