بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ تَبَّتْ يَدَا أَبِي لَهَبٍ وَتَبَّ
Perish the hands of Abu Lahab, and perish he!
Quran
سورة المسدThe Palm Fibre • 5 ayat • MakkiyyahTranslated by A. J. Arberry
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ تَبَّتْ يَدَا أَبِي لَهَبٍ وَتَبَّ
Perish the hands of Abu Lahab, and perish he!
مَا أَغْنَىٰ عَنْهُ مَالُهُ وَمَا كَسَبَ
His wealth avails him not, neither what he has earned;
سَيَصْلَىٰ نَارًا ذَاتَ لَهَبٍ
he shall roast at a flaming fire
وَامْرَأَتُهُ حَمَّالَةَ الْحَطَبِ
and his wife, the carrier of the firewood,
فِي جِيدِهَا حَبْلٌ مِنْ مَسَدٍ
upon her neck a rope of palm-fibre.
