The Chapter of Abu Laheb[1].

(CXI. Mecca.)

In the name of the merciful and compassionate God.

Abu Laheb's two hands shall perish, and he shall perish !

​His wealth shall not avail him, nor what he has earned !

He shall broil in a fire that flames,[2] and his wife carrying faggots ! — 5 on her neck a cord of palm fibres.

  1. ↑ See Introduction, p. xxviii. Abu Laheb, 'the father of the flame,'
  2. ↑ A pun upon his name.
