بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم عبس وتولى
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. (The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم) frowned and turned away.
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ
عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ
أن جاءه الأعمى
Because there came to him the blind man (i.e. 'Abdullah bin Umm-Maktum, who came to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم while he was preaching to one or some of the Quraish chiefs).
أَن جَاءَهُ الْأَعْمَىٰ
أَن جَآءَهُ ٱلْأَعْمَىٰ
وما يدريك لعله يزكى
And how can you know that he might become pure (from sins)?
وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُ يَزَّكَّىٰ
وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُۥ يَزَّكَّىٰٓ
أو يذكر فتنفعه الذكرى
Or he might receive admonition, and the admonition might profit him?
أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ الذِّكْرَىٰ
أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰٓ
أما من استغنى
As for him who thinks himself self-sufficient,
أَمَّا مَنِ اسْتَغْنَىٰ
أَمَّا مَنِ ٱسْتَغْنَىٰ
فأنت له تصدى
To him you attend;
فَأَنتَ لَهُ تَصَدَّىٰ
فَأَنتَ لَهُۥ تَصَدَّىٰ
وما عليك ألا يزكى
What does it matter to you if he will not become pure (from disbelief: you are only a Messenger, your duty is to convey the Message of Allah).
وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ
وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ
وأما من جاءك يسعى
But as to him who came to you running,
وَأَمَّا مَن جَاءَكَ يَسْعَىٰ
وَأَمَّا مَن جَآءَكَ يَسْعَىٰ
وهو يخشى
And is afraid (of Allah and His punishment).
وَهُوَ يَخْشَىٰ
وَهُوَ يَخْشَىٰ
فأنت عنه تلهى
Of him you are neglectful and divert your attention to another,
فَأَنتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهَّىٰ
فَأَنتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهَّىٰ
كلا إنها تذكرة
Nay, (do not do like this); indeed it (this Qur'an) is an admonition.
كَلَّا إِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌ
كَلَّآ إِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌ
فمن شاء ذكره
So whoever wills, let him pay attention to it.
فَمَن شَاءَ ذَكَرَهُ
فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ

ثم إذا شاء أنشره
