He Frowned ('Abasa)
In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful
۞ (The Prophet (Peace be upon him)) frowned and turned away, 1 Because there came to him the blind man. 2 How canst thou know, whether haply he might be cleansed, 3 Or take heed and so the reminder might avail him? 4 As for him who was indifferent, 5 you attended to him, 6 And not upon you [is any blame] if he will not be purified. 7 And for him who came to you striving, 8 And whereas he fears, 9 From him will you divert yourself. 10 No indeed, this is a Reminder; 11 So whoso wills may give heed to it. 12 [It is recorded] in honored sheets, 13 Exalted (in dignity), kept pure and holy, 14 Written by the hands of emissaries. 15 Noble and righteous. 16 Be cursed (the disbelieving) man! How ungrateful he is! 17 From what substance did He create him? 18 From a sperm-drop: He hath created him, and then mouldeth him in due proportions; 19 Then He makes the Path easy for him; 20 He will then send him to death and have him laid in the grave. 21 then, when He wills, He raises him. 22 Nay, but (man) hath not done what He commanded him. 23 Then let man look at his food, 24 How We pour water in showers 25 Thereafter We cleave the earth in clefts, 26 how We made the grain to grow, 27 grapes, and fresh fodder, 28 And olives and palms 29 and gardens dense with foliage, 30 and fruits and fodder 31 (To be) a provision and benefit for you and your cattle. 32 But when the Shout cometh 33 on that Day a man shall flee from his own brother, 34 his mother and his father, 35 his wife and his children. 36 For every man, that Day, will be a matter adequate for him. 37 Some faces will on that Day be bright with happiness, 38 Laughing, joyous. 39 And other faces, that Day, will be dust-stained; 40 Blackness will cover them. 41 Those are the disbelievers, the wicked ones. 42
