80 Abasa-He Frowned Flashcards
عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ
The Prophet frowned and turned away
أَن جَآءَهُ ٱلۡأَعۡمَىٰ
Because there came to him the blind man, [interrupting].
وَمَا يُدۡرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُۥ يَزَّكَّىٰٓ
But what would make you perceive, [O Muhammad], that perhaps he might be purified
أَوۡ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ ٱلذِّكۡرَىٰٓ
Or be reminded and the remembrance would benefit him?
أَمَّا مَنِ ٱسۡتَغۡنَىٰ
As for he who thinks himself without need,
فَأَنتَ لَهُۥ تَصَدَّىٰ
To him you give attention.
وَمَا عَلَيۡكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ
And not upon you [is any blame] if he will not be purified.
وَأَمَّا مَن جَآءَكَ يَسۡعَىٰ
But as for he who came to you striving [for knowledge]
وَهُوَ يَخۡشَىٰ
While he fears [ Allah ],
فَأَنتَ عَنۡهُ تَلَهَّىٰ
From him you are distracted.
كَلَّآ إِنَّهَا تَذۡكِرَةٌ
No! Indeed, these verses are a reminder;
فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ
So whoever wills may remember it.
فِى صُحُفٍ مُّكَرَّمَةٍ
[It is recorded] in honored sheets,
مَّرۡفُوعَةٍ مُّطَهَّرَةٍۢ
Exalted and purified,
بِأَيۡدِى سَفَرَةٍ
[Carried] by the hands of messenger-angels,
كِرَامٍۢ بَرَرَةٍ
Noble and dutiful.
قُتِلَ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ مَآ أَكۡفَرَهُۥ
Cursed is man; how disbelieving is he.
