He Frowned ('Abasa)
Allah - beginning with the name of - the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
۞ The Prophet frowned and turned away 1 Because there came to him the blind man (i.e. 'Abdullah bin Umm-Maktum, who came to the Prophet (Peace be upon him) while he was preaching to one or some of the Quraish chiefs). 2 And what do you know, he may be of the pure! 3 or receive some (Quranic) advice which would benefit him. 4 Yet you pay attention 5 you attend to him, 6 Though it is not your concern if he should not grow (in fulness). 7 But he who comes to you running, 8 And he feareth 9 him didst thou disregard! 10 No indeed, this is a Reminder; 11 and whosoever wills, shall remember it. 12 On honourable pages. 13 exalted, purified, 14 by the hands of scribes 15 noble and pious. 16 Woe to man! What hath made him reject Allah; 17 From what thing did He create him? 18 Of a drop of seed. He created him and formed him according to a measure. 19 Then He eased the way for him; 20 Then He causeth him to die, and putteth him in his grave; 21 Then, when He will, He bringeth him again to life. 22 But no. He has not fulfilled what was enjoined on him. 23 Let man look at his food: 24 How We pour water in showers 25 Then We cleave the earth, cleaving (it) asunder, 26 And cause the grain to grow therein 27 and grape vines and vegetables, 28 and olive trees and date-palms, 29 And dense gardens, 30 And fruits and fodder,- 31 (These are made so as to be) means of enjoyment for you and your cattle. 32 Then when cometh the Deafening Cry 33 On that day man will run away from his brother. 34 And from his mother and his father, 35 his wife and his sons: 36 Every man that day will have concern enough to make him heedless (of others). 37 on that Day some faces will be beaming, 38 and be cheerful and joyous. 39 And [other] faces, that Day, will have upon them dust. 40 and covered by darkness. 41 It is they, the disbelievers, the sinners. 42
