AL-MASAD Palm Fibre المسد Meccan (surah 111 • 5 ayahs) »The surah that mentions the PALM FIBRE rope that in Hellfire shall be twisted around the neck of the wife of the Prophet’s uncle, who bitterly opposed Islam; for she took great pride in wearing an ostentatious necklace she became known for and would slip by night to strew thorns and prickly plants in the Prophet’s path to injure his feet. It takes its name from verse 5 in which the phrase “ḥablun min masad” (meaning “a rope of palm fibre”) occurs.« بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم IN THE NAME OF ALLAH, THE ALL-BENEFICENT, THE ALL-MERCIFUL. 1 القرآن: تبت يدا أبي لهب وتب TRANSLATION: Perish the hands of Abu Lahab, and perish he! 2 القرآن: ما أغنى عنه ماله وما كسب TRANSLATION: Neither his wealth availed him, nor what he had earned. 3 القرآن: سيصلى نارا ذات لهب TRANSLATION: Soon he will enter the blazing fire, 4 القرآن: وامرأته حمالة الحطب TRANSLATION: and his wife [too], the firewood carrier,1 Or ‘the informer.’ 5 القرآن: في جيدها حبل من مسد TRANSLATION: with a rope of palm fibre around her neck.
