Sūrat al-Masad (Arabic: سورة المسد, meaning "The Palm Fiber") is the 111th chapter (Sura) of the Quran with 5 verses. Verse 1 mentions one of Muhammad's adversaries named Abu Lahab.[1] This surah takes its name from verse 5 in which the phrase “ḥablun min masad” (meaning “a rope of palm fibre”) occurs that mentions the palm fibre rope that in hellfire shall be twisted around the neck of the wife of Muhammad’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 Muhammad’s path to injure his feet.[2][3][4]

Surah Al-Masadd in Hadith

Since this is the only place in the Quran where an enemy of Islam has been condemned by name, the study of hadith is pivotal to grasp the special trait of the character of this person, which became the basis of this condemnation by name, as Ḥadīth (حديث) is literally "speech"; recorded saying or tradition of Muhammad validated by isnad; with sira these comprise the sunnah and reveal shariah .
