Ayah  80:1  الأية
بِسْم ِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
Ayah First  1  الأية
Tafseer
 
He, the Prophet, frowned, glowered with his face, and turned away,
 
Ayah  80:2  الأية
 
Tafseer
 
because the blind man came to him: âAbd Allāh son of Umm Maktūm, who interrupted him while he was busy with those notables of Quryash whose submission [to God] he was very eager for. The blind man was not aware that he was busy with these and so he called out to him, âTeach me of what God has taught youâ. However, the Prophet (s) went off to his house. He was then reproached for this with what was revealed in this sūra. Afterwards, whenever he came to him, the Prophet would say to him, âGreetings to him on whose account God reproached me!â, and would lay down his cloak for him.
 
Ayah  80:3  الأية

And how would you know? Perhaps he would cleanse himself (yazzakkā: the original tāâ [of yatazakkā] has been assimilated with the zāy), that is, [perhaps] he would purge himself of sins by what he hears from you,
 
Ayah  80:4  الأية
 
Tafseer
 
or be admonished (yadhdhakkar: the original tāâ [of yatadhakkar] has been assimilated with the dhāl) and so the reminder, the admonition heard from you, might benefit him (a variant reading [for tanfaâuhu] has tanfaâahu as the response to the optative statement).

But as for the one [who thinks himself] self-sufficient, through wealth,
 
Ayah  80:6  الأية

to him you [do] attend (tasaddā: a variant reading has tassaddā, where the original second tāâ [of tatasaddā] has been assimilated with the sād), [him] you accept and turn your attention to;
 
Ayah  80:7  الأية
 
Tafseer
 
yet it is not your concern if he does not cleanse himself, [if he does not] believe.
 
Ayah  80:8  الأية

But as for him who comes to you hurrying (yasâā is a circumstantial qualifier referring to the subject of [the 725 verb] jāâa, âcomesâ)
