Allah has never dedicated a particular Surah anywhere in the Qur'an except in this way for this enemy.
So why such emphasis given to this enemy? The placement of the Surah. How come it comes in this order, after Surah anNasr and before Surah Iklas.
He is the one of the most famous and wealthiest and political powerful and good looking. Abu Lahab is his nick name. It means a flame that is red, it flickers with this glow. It denotes beauty and handsomeness. He was the treasurer of Makkah. He held the status of a celebrity. He is the grandson of Hashim. Lineage was important to the Arabs.
Her nickname is Umm Jameel, she was gorgeous. The daughter of the tribe leader. The couple is looked up to because of their nobility, their looks, their wealth. They are a Class-A couple.
He was the next door neighbour of prophet (s.a.w). He would throw trash, dead animal skin when he would hear prophet (s.a.w) praying or reciting. His sons also married the daughters of prophet (s.a.w). His son Utayba also spit towards him (s.a.w). He (s.a.w) made duaa against him and Abu Lahab was paranoid. So he won't believe in his message (s.a.w) but will be afraid of his duaa.
تَبَّ Destroy little by little. Die a slow and painful death. Car accident is an immediate death. That is halaak. The Arabs would ask, are you young or are you being destroyed? Your eyes and ears don't work the same way anymore. Your back bends. Your hair falls. You lose teeth. You are gradually deteriorating.
He and everything he does put to waste and destroyed. His plan to stop the prophet (s.a.w) failed. The hired two men to fight in badr, they lost. He told his sons to divorce his (s.a.w) daughters, and they both married Uthman (r.a) and lived happily till their death. His wealth and sons were or no use to him. His wife also died terribly.
يَدَا He grabbed a rock to hit the prophet (s.a.w). so that is why his hands were cursed. he also said to prophet (s.a.w) that may your hands be detroyed so his deen and dunya were destroyed. He is called by this nick name because he will always be in fire, flickering and hot red.
Allah says that may he be destroyed and he is in fact destroyed.
وَامْرَأَتُهُ
the purpose of marriage is to create more harmony. Two individuals, families come together in harmony. The upshot of that is the human race is at harmony. Only means through which humans can procreate legitimately. When any of this is missing, Allah calls them imra-a. They have kids but they are evil wife and evil husband who are a good tag team, destroying the harmony of society.
حَمَّالَةَ - she does it a lot as if it was her profession. In hellfire she will do the same.
