80. He Frowned (Àbasa)

Revealed before the Hijrah. This chapter has 42 verses.

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

1. (The Prophet) frowned and turned away,

2. Because there came to him the blind man (interrupting).

3. But what could tell thee but that perchance he might grow in purity?-

4. Or that he might receive admonition, and the reminder might profit him?

5. As to one who regards Himself as self-sufficient,

6. To him dost thou attend;

7. Though it is no blame to thee if he grow not in purity.

8. But as to him who came to thee striving earnestly,

9. And with fear (in his heart),

10. Of him wast thou unmindful.
