AAabasa watawalla

أَن جَاءَهُ الْأَعْمَىٰ

when there came to him the blind man (Abdullah bin Umme Maktoom, who came to the prophet while the prophet was preaching to the chiefs of Makkah).

An jaahu al-aAAma

وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُ يَزَّكَّىٰ

And how can you know? He might become pure (from sins)

Wama yudreeka laAAallahu yazzakka

أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ الذِّكْرَىٰ

أَمَّا مَنِ اسْتَغْنَىٰ

As for those who think themselves indifferent,

فَأَنتَ لَهُ تَصَدَّىٰ

Faanta lahu tasadda

وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ

you will not be held responsible, if they would not purify themselves (your duty is to convey the message of Allah).

Wama AAalayka alla yazzakka

وَأَمَّا مَن جَاءَكَ يَسْعَىٰ

Yet, to him who came to you running (with enthusiasm)

كَلَّا إِنَّهَا تَذْكِرَةٌ
