سُورَةُ عَبَسَ

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ

The Prophet frowned and turned away

أَن جَآءَهُ ٱلْأَعْمَىٰ

Because there came to him the blind man, [interrupting].

وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُۥ يَزَّكَّىٰٓ

But what would make you perceive, [O Muhammad], that perhaps he might be purified

أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰٓ

Or be reminded and the remembrance would benefit him?

أَمَّا مَنِ ٱسْتَغْنَىٰ

As for he who thinks himself without need,

فَأَنتَ لَهُۥ تَصَدَّىٰ

To him you give attention.

وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ

And not upon you [is any blame] if he will not be purified.

وَأَمَّا مَن جَآءَكَ يَسْعَىٰ

But as for he who came to you striving [for knowledge]

وَهُوَ يَخْشَىٰ

While he fears [Allah],

فَأَنتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهَّىٰ

From him you are distracted.
