He Frowned ('Abasa)
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
۞ (The Prophet (Peace be upon him)) frowned and turned away, 1 that the blind man came to him. 2 for how can you know that he might seek to purify himself, 3 Or take heed and so the reminder might avail him? 4 As for him who is not in want of any thing, 5 To him you attend; 6 though you are not to blame if he would not cleanse himself. 7 But as to him who came to thee striving earnestly, 8 And he fears, 9 to him thou payest no heed. 10 No indeed; it is a Reminder 11 So whoso wills may give heed to it. 12 [It is recorded] in honored sheets, 13 exalted, purified, 14 By the hands of scribes. 15 noble and virtuous scribes. 16 Accursed is man. How ungrateful is he! 17 Of what thing hath He created him? 18 From a drop of seed. He createth him and proportioneth him, 19 then eased his path for him, 20 and in the end He causes him to die and brings him to the grave; 21 Then, when it is His Will, He will raise him up (again). 22 Yet man declines to do His bidding. 23 So man must look at his food. 24 We poured down rain abundantly, 25 And We split the earth in clefts, 26 to yield therein corn, 27 and vines and edible plants, 28 olives, dates, 29 And thick gardens, 30 and fruits, and pastures, 31 Provision for you and your cattle. 32 When the trumpet sounds, 33 on the Day when each man shall flee from his brother, 34 And his mother and his father 35 his consort, his sons, 36 For every one of them on that Day shall be business enough to occupy 37 (Many) faces on that day shall be bright, 38 Laughing, joyous. 39 some faces on that day shall be dusty 40 Dust shall cover them 41 Those are the disbelievers, the wicked. 42
