'Abasa


عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ

He frowned and turned ˹his attention˺ away,


أَن جَآءَهُ ٱلۡأَعۡمَىٰ

˹simply˺ because the blind man came to him ˹interrupting˺.1


وَمَا يُدۡرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُۥ يَزَّكَّىٰٓ

You never know ˹O Prophet˺, perhaps he may be purified,


أَوۡ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ ٱلذِّكۡرَىٰٓ

or he may be mindful, benefitting from the reminder.


أَمَّا مَنِ ٱسۡتَغۡنَىٰ

As for the one who was indifferent,


فَأَنتَ لَهُۥ تَصَدَّىٰ

you gave him your ˹undivided˺ attention,


وَمَا عَلَيۡكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ

even though you are not to blame if he would not be purified.


وَأَمَّا مَن جَآءَكَ يَسۡعَىٰ

But as for the one who came to you, eager ˹to learn˺,


وَهُوَ يَخۡشَىٰ

being in awe ˹of Allah˺,


فَأَنتَ عَنۡهُ تَلَهَّىٰ

you were inattentive to him.
