Ash-Shitâ is so called from a word occurring in verse 2. It is also often called Qureysh.

A very early Meccan Sûrah.

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. For the taming of Qureysh For their taming (We cause) the caravans to set forth in winter and summer. So let them worship the Lord of this House, Who hath fed them against hunger And hath made them safe from fear. Rh
