what's the meaning of this sura

1111 Condemned is the hand of Abu-Lahab; condemned indeed.
1112 His money will not avail him, nor what he has earned.
1113 He will be sent to a flaming Fire.
1114 And his wife who carries the logs.
1115 On her neck will be a rope of thorns.

doesn't say who he was, what he did...
so why condemned is he? how do we know?
why would God reveal this sura? why so little information? what can we learn from it?
some say we need hadith to understand this one.

I think it is a lesson for us to heed. The quran provides pointers for us and shows us how to keep our pace on the "straight and narrow". This topic has been discussed before and you'll find plenty of info if you heed Wakas' advice. Abu Lahab is the personality you should not emulate.
