80:1بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ
The Prophet frowned and turned away
80:2أَن جَآءَهُ ٱلْأَعْمَىٰ
Because there came to him the blind man, [interrupting].
80:3وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُۥ يَزَّكَّىٰٓ
But what would make you perceive, [O Muhammad], that perhaps he might be purified
80:4أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰٓ
Or be reminded and the remembrance would benefit him?
80:5أَمَّا مَنِ ٱسْتَغْنَىٰ
As for he who thinks himself without need,
80:6فَأَنتَ لَهُۥ تَصَدَّىٰ
To him you give attention.
80:7وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ
And not upon you [is any blame] if he will not be purified.
80:8وَأَمَّا مَن جَآءَكَ يَسْعَىٰ
But as for he who came to you striving [for knowledge]
