Revision of Surat-al-Masad

1. Perish the two hands of Abu lahab and perish he!
2. His wealth and his children will not benefit him!
3. He will enter a fire full of flames.
4. And his wife too, who carries wood.
5. In her neck is a twisted rope of palm fiber.


In the first part of this sura is a supplication against one of the uncles (Abu Lahab) of the Prophet , while the second part is information about him. Both he and his wife hated the Prophet and scorned him and his religion. The Prophet one day called the people together to warn them of a coming of a severe torment. Abu Lahab, his uncle, responded to the Prophet 'May you perish'. And thus, Allah revealed this sura about him and his wife.
