𝗪𝗼𝗺𝗲𝗻'𝘀 𝗕𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗳𝗶𝘁𝘀 (496)

Don't be a Carrier of Firewood Allāh ﷻ said: {وَٱمۡرَأَتُهُۥ حَمَّالَةَ ٱلۡحَطَبِ} "And his (Abu Lahab's) wife - the carrier of firewood." [Sūrah Al-Masad: 4] Qatādah, Mujāhid, and As-Suddi all said: «كَانَتْ تَمْشِي بِالنَّمِيمَةِ وَتَنْقُلُ الْحَدِيثَ فَتُلْقِي الْعَدَاوَةَ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ، وَتُوقِدُ نَارَهَا كَمَا تُوقَدُ النَّارُ [بِالْحَطَب]». "She used to go about engaging in gossip and transmitting reports, thereby sowing enmity among people. She would kindle its fire as one kindles a [physical] fire [with wood]." [Tafsir Al-Baghawi]
