وَامْرَأَتُهُ حَمَّالَةَ الْحَطَبِ
111:4 Imra’tu-huامْرَأَتُهُ - his wife; his associate; his comrade. The word also signifies a subordinate to someone with power and influence (Lisân; Tâj). This purports to say that the culprits are also their assistants responsible for kindling and adding fuel to the fire, whether men or women. Abû Lahab’s wife Arwa Ummi Jamîl, daughter of Harb son of Umayyah strew the Holy Prophet’s path with thorny firewood and would go about spreading calumnies against him. Hatabالْحَطَبِmeans firewood (Lisân) or spreading calumnies (Bukhârî; Lisân).
