(The Prophet) frowned and turned away,

80:2

أَن جَآءَهُ ٱلْأَعْمَىٰ ﴿٢﴾

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

80:3

وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُۥ يَزَّكَّىٰٓ ﴿٣﴾

But what could tell thee but that perchance he might grow (in spiritual understanding)?-

أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰٓ ﴿٤﴾

Or that he might receive admonition, and the teaching might profit him?

80:5

أَمَّا مَنِ ٱسْتَغْنَىٰ ﴿٥﴾

As to one who regards Himself as self-sufficient,

فَأَنتَ لَهُۥ تَصَدَّىٰ ﴿٦﴾

To him dost thou attend;

وَهُوَ يَخْشَىٰ ﴿٩﴾

And with fear (in his heart),

80:10

فَأَنتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهَّىٰ ﴿١٠﴾

Of him wast thou unmindful.

80:11

كَلَّآ إِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌۭ ﴿١١﴾

By no means (should it be so)! For it is indeed a Message of instruction:

فِى صُحُفٍۢ مُّكَرَّمَةٍۢ ﴿١٣﴾
