Explanatory translation

4His wife too, who gossips and spreads tales and acts with hostility toward the Prophet, will enter Hell carrying firewood for her husband’s fire, and will keep him company there. If only she knew that, while she thought she was helping her husband, she was in fact doing nothing but carrying the firewood of Hell for him! But she does not know!
