42 ajatów • Meccan
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 تَذۡكِرَةٞ
No! Indeed, these verses are a reminder
فَمَن شَآءَ ذَكَرَهُۥ
So whoever wills may remember it
فِي صُحُفٖ مُّكَرَّمَةٖ
[It is recorded] in honored sheets
مَّرۡفُوعَةٖ مُّطَهَّرَةِۭ
Exalted and purified
بِأَيۡدِي سَفَرَةٖ
[Carried] by the hands of messenger-angels
كِرَامِۭ بَرَرَةٖ
Noble and dutiful
قُتِلَ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ مَآ أَكۡفَرَهُۥ
Cursed is man; how disbelieving is he
مِنۡ أَيِّ شَيۡءٍ خَلَقَهُۥ
From what substance did He create him
مِن نُّطۡفَةٍ خَلَقَهُۥ فَقَدَّرَهُۥ
From a sperm-drop He created him and destined for him
ثُمَّ ٱلسَّبِيلَ يَسَّرَهُۥ
Then He eased the way for him
ثُمَّ أَمَاتَهُۥ فَأَقۡبَرَهُۥ
Then He causes his death and provides a grave for him
ثُمَّ إِذَا شَآءَ أَنشَرَهُۥ
Then when He wills, He will resurrect him
كَلَّا لَمَّا يَقۡضِ مَآ أَمَرَهُۥ
No! Man has not yet accomplished what He commanded him
فَلۡيَنظُرِ ٱلۡإِنسَٰنُ إِلَىٰ طَعَامِهِۦٓ
Then let mankind look at his food
أَنَّا صَبَبۡنَا ٱلۡمَآءَ صَبّٗا
How We poured down water in torrents
ثُمَّ شَقَقۡنَا ٱلۡأَرۡضَ شَقّٗا
Then We broke open the earth, splitting [it with sprouts]
فَأَنۢبَتۡنَا فِيهَا حَبّٗا
And caused to grow within it grain
وَعِنَبٗا وَقَضۡبٗا
And grapes and herbage
وَزَيۡتُونٗا وَنَخۡلٗا
And olive and palm trees
وَحَدَآئِقَ غُلۡبٗا
And gardens of dense shrubbery
وَفَٰكِهَةٗ وَأَبّٗا
And fruit and grass
مَّتَٰعٗا لَّكُمۡ وَلِأَنۡعَٰمِكُمۡ
[As] enjoyment for you and your grazing livestock
فَإِذَا جَآءَتِ ٱلصَّآخَّةُ
But when there comes the Deafening Blast
يَوۡمَ يَفِرُّ ٱلۡمَرۡءُ مِنۡ أَخِيهِ
On the Day a man will flee from his brother
وَأُمِّهِۦ وَأَبِيهِ
And his mother and his father
وَصَٰحِبَتِهِۦ وَبَنِيهِ
And his wife and his children
لِكُلِّ ٱمۡرِيٕٖ مِّنۡهُمۡ يَوۡمَئِذٖ شَأۡنٞ يُغۡنِيهِ
For every man, that Day, will be a matter adequate for him
وُجُوهٞ يَوۡمَئِذٖ مُّسۡفِرَةٞ
[Some] faces, that Day, will be bright
ضَاحِكَةٞ مُّسۡتَبۡشِرَةٞ
Laughing, rejoicing at good news
وَوُجُوهٞ يَوۡمَئِذٍ عَلَيۡهَا غَبَرَةٞ
And [other] faces, that Day, will have upon them dust
تَرۡهَقُهَا قَتَرَةٌ
Blackness will cover them
أُوْلَـٰٓئِكَ هُمُ ٱلۡكَفَرَةُ ٱلۡفَجَرَةُ
Those are the disbelievers, the wicked ones
