أن جاءه الأعمى
أَن جَآءَهُ ٱلْأَعْمَىٰ
What could inform thee but that he might grow (in grace)
But what would make you perceive, [O Muhammad], that perhaps he might be purified
Was läßt dich wissen, vielleicht läutert er sich
وما يدريك لعله يزكى
وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُۥ يَزَّكَّىٰٓ
Or take heed and so the reminder might avail him ?
Or be reminded and the remembrance would benefit him?

أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰٓ
As for him who thinketh himself independent,

Unto him thou payest regard.
To him you give attention.
so widmest du dich ihm,
فأنت له تصدى
فَأَنتَ لَهُۥ تَصَدَّىٰ
Yet it is not thy concern if he grow not (in grace).
And not upon you [is any blame] if he will not be purified.

وما عليك ألا يزكى
وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ
But as for him who cometh unto thee with earnest purpose
But as for he who came to you striving [for knowledge]
Was aber jemanden angeht, der zu dir geeilt kommt
وأما من جاءك يسعى
وَأَمَّا مَن جَآءَكَ يَسْعَىٰ
And hath fear,
While he fears [Allah],
und dabei gottesfürchtig ist,
وهو يخشى
وَهُوَ يَخْشَىٰ
From him thou art distracted.
From him you are distracted.
