65.80 Surat ‘Abasa (He Frowned)

٦٥۔٨٠ سورة عَبَسَ

[Machine] {In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. "He frowned and turned away, because the blind man came to him. But what would make you perceive, O Muhammad, that perhaps he might be purified or be reminded and the remembrance would benefit him? As for he who thinks himself without need, to him you give attention. And not upon you, O Muhammad, is [responsibility for] their guidance. But whoever purifies himself, then he purifies only for [the benefit of] himself. And to Allah is the [final] destination." (Quran 80:1-8).}

The verse describes the Prophet Muhammad's reaction when a blind man came to seek his guidance. The Prophet frowned and turned away from the blind man. Allah then revealed this verse to correct the Prophet's behavior and remind him of the importance of showing kindness and respect to all people, regardless of their social status or physical abilities. The verse also highlights the concept of personal purification and how it is ultimately beneficial for oneself.

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ {عَبَسَ} كَلَحَ وَأَعْرَضَ، وَقَالَ غَيْرُهُ: {مُطَهَّرَةٍ} لاَ يَمَسُّهَا إِلاَّ الْمُطَهَّرُونَ وَهُمُ الْمَلاَئِكَةُ، وَهَذَا مِثْلُ قَوْلِهِ: {فَالْمُدَبِّرَاتِ أَمْرًا} جَعَلَ الْمَلاَئِكَةَ وَالصُّحُفَ مُطَهَّرَةً، لأَنَّ الصُّحُفَ يَقَعُ عَلَيْهَا التَّطْهِيرُ، فَجُعِلَ التَّطْهِيرُ لِمَنْ حَمَلَهَا أَيْضًا.{سَفَرَةٍ} الْمَلاَئِكَةُ وَاحِدُهُمْ سَافِرٌ، سَفَرْتُ أَصْلَحْتُ بَيْنَهُمْ، وَجُعِلَتِ الْمَلاَئِكَةُ إِذَا نَزَلَتْ بِوَحْيِ اللَّهِ وَتَأْدِيَتِهِ كَالسَّفِيرِ الَّذِي يُصْلِحُ بَيْنَ الْقَوْمِ.وَقَالَ غَيْرُهُ: {تَصَدَّى} تَغَافَلَ عَنْهُ.وَقَالَ مُجَاهِدٌ: {لَمَّا يَقْضِ} لاَ يَقْضِي أَحَدٌ مَا أُمِرَ بِهِ.وَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: {تَرْهَقُهَا} تَغْشَاهَا شِدَّةٌ.{مُسْفِرَةٌ} مُشْرِقَةٌ.{بِأَيْدِي سَفَرَةٍ} وَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ كَتَبَةٍ.{أَسْفَارًا} كُتُبًا.{تَلَهَّى} تَشَاغَلَ، يُقَالُ وَاحِدُ الأَسْفَارِ سِفْرٌ.

The Prophet ﷺ said, "Such a person as recites the Qur'an and masters it by heart, will be with the noble righteous scribes (in Heaven). And such a person exerts himself to learn the Qur'an by heart, and recites it with great difficulty, will have a double reward."  

البخاري:٤٩٣٧حَدَّثَنَا آدَمُ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ زُرَارَةَ بْنَ أَوْفَى يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ مَثَلُ الَّذِي يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ وَهْوَ حَافِظٌ لَهُ مَعَ السَّفَرَةِ الْكِرَامِ الْبَرَرَةِ وَمَثَلُ الَّذِي يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ وَهْوَ يَتَعَاهَدُهُ وَهْوَ عَلَيْهِ شَدِيدٌ فَلَهُ أَجْرَانِ
