In the Name of Almighty Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate
42 آية

بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

Surah Abasa is the 80th chapter of the Quran, containing 42 verses. Revealed in Makkah, it takes its name from its opening incident, in which the Prophet frowned and turned away from the blind companion Abdullah ibn Umm Maktum, who came seeking to learn while the Prophet was occupied with the leaders of Quraish. Allah gently corrects him, then reflects on man’s origin and ingratitude, describes the abundant provision spread across the earth for his sustenance, and closes with a vivid description of the Day when every person will flee even from their closest kin, each preoccupied with their own affair. Below you can read the full Surah Abasa in Arabic with a clear English translation and a verse-by-verse tafsir (explanation of the meaning) from Aysar al-Tafaseer, with the option to jump to any specific verse.

{ عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ }
(1) – كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَوْماً يُخَاطِبُ أَحَدَ سَادَةِ قُرَيْشٍ، وَقَدْ طَمِعَ فِي إِسْلاَمِهِ، فَبَيْنَمَا كَانَ يَتَحَدَّثُ إِلَيْهِ، إِذْ أَقْبَلَ ابْنُ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ، وَهُوَ رَجُلٌ أَعْمَى، وَكَانَ أَسْلَمَ، قَدِيماً، وَهَاجَرَ إِلَى المَدِينَةِ، وَقَدْ جَاءَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ لِيَسْأَلَهُ عَنْ شَيءٍ، وَأَلَحَّ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ فِي السُّؤُالِ. وَوَدَّ النَّبِيُّ أَنْ لَوْ كَفَّ ابْنُ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ، سَاعَتَهُ تِلْكَ، لِيَتَمَكَّنَ مِنْ مُتَابَعَةِ حَدِيثِهِ مَعَ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلِ، طَمَعاً فِي هِدَايَتِهِ. وَعَبَسَ فِي وَجْهِ ابْنِ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ وَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ، وَأَقْبَلَ عَلَى الآخَرِ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ تَعَالَى هَذِهِ الآيَاتِ مُعَاتِباً رَسُولَهُ الكَرِيمَ.

فَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ يَهَشُّ لآِبْنِ أُمِّ مَكْتُومٍ، وَيَلْقَاهُ بِالعِنَايَةِ والتَّكْرِيمِ وَيَقُولُ لَهُ: أَهْلاً بِمَنْ عَاتَبَنِي فِيهِ رَبِّي.

وَمَعْنَى الآيَةِ: أَنَّ الرَّسُولَ قَطَّبَ وَجْهَهُ كَارِهاً وَأَعْرَضَ.
Surah Abasa: Verse 1
1. One day, while the Prophet (peace be upon him) was speaking to one of the notables of Quraish, inviting him to embrace Islam, Ibn Um Maktum, a blind man who had converted to Islam long before and had emigrated to Medina, came upon them. He had come to ask the Prophet a question and persisted in his inquiry until the Prophet wished that Ibn um Maktum would go away so he could continue his talk with the other man, hoping to guide him. He turned away from Ibn um Maktum and frowned, and moved back to the other man. Allah Almighty then revealed this chapter reprimanding His noble Messenger. After that day, the Prophet always held Ibn Um Maktum in high honour and addressed him as “the man concerning whom Allah Almighty reproached me”. The meaning of this verse is: The Messenger frowned in distaste and turned away.

{ يَوْمَئِذٍ }

(37) – فَفِي ذَلِكَ اليَوْمِ لاَ يَسْأَلُ أَحَدٌ عَنْ أَحَدٍ، وَلاَ يُفَكِّرُ فِيهِ لأَِنَّ لِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ هَمّاً يَمْلأُ صَدْرَهُ، حَتَّى لاَ يَبْقَى فِيهِ مُتَّسَعٌ لِهَمٍّ آخَرَ، وَلِكُلِّ إِنْسَانٍ مَا يُغْنِيهِ عَنِ التَّفْكِيرِ فِي هُمُومِ الآخَرِينَ.
Surah Abasa: Verse 37
