3. 3 سَيَصْلَىٰ نَارًا ذَاتَ لَهَبٍ He shall soon enter a Fire full of leaping flames (to burn others of his kind as well),
4. 4 وَامْرَأَتُهُ حَمَّالَةَ الْحَطَبِ And his wife too, the carrier of fire wood and bearer of slanders and calumnies (will also be enveloped in the flames);
5. 5 فِي جِيدِهَا حَبْلٌ مِنْ مَسَدٍ Having round her neck a halter of twisted strands.
