> 80. `Abasa: He Frowned
> 
> 1 He frowned and turned away 
> 
> 2 Because the blind man came unto him. 
> 
> 3 What could inform thee but that he might grow (in grace) 
> 
> 4 Or take heed and so the reminder might avail him ? 
> 
> 5 As for him who thinketh himself independent, 
> 
> 6 Unto him thou payest regard. 
> 
> 7 Yet it is not thy concern if he grow not (in grace). 
> 
> 8 But as for him who cometh unto thee with earnest purpose 
> 
> 9 And hath fear, 
> 
> 10 From him thou art distracted. 
> 
> 11 Nay, but verily it is an Admonishment, 
> 
> 12 So let whosoever will pay heed to it, 
> 
> 13 On honoured leaves 
> 
> 14 Exalted, purified, 
> 
> 15 (Set down) by scribes 
> 
> 16 Noble and righteous. 
> 
> 17 Man is (self-)destroyed: how ungrateful! 
> 
> 18 From what thing doth He create him ? 
> 
> 19 From a drop of seed. He createth him and proportioneth him, 
> 
> 20 Then maketh the way easy for him, 
> 
> 21 Then causeth him to die, and burieth him; 
> 
> 22 Then, when He will, He bringeth him again to life. 
> 
> 23 Nay, but (man) hath not done what He commanded him. 
> 
> 24 Let man consider his food: 
> 
> 25 How We pour water in showers 
> 
> 26 Then split the earth in clefts 
> 
> 27 And cause the grain to grow therein 
> 
> 28 And grapes and green fodder 
> 
> 29 And olive-trees and palm-trees 
> 
> 30 And garden-closes of thick foliage 
> 
> 31 And fruits and grasses: 
> 
> 32 Provision for you and your cattle. 
> 
> 33 But when the Shout cometh 
> 
> 34 On the day when a man fleeth from his brother 
> 
> 35 And his mother and his father 
> 
> 36 And his wife and his children, 
> 
> 37 Every man that day will have concern enough to make him heedless (of others). 
> 
> 38 On that day faces will be bright as dawn, 
> 
> 39 Laughing, rejoicing at good news; 
> 
> 40 And other faces, on that day, with dust upon them, 
> 
> 41 Veiled in darkness, 
> 
> 42 Those are the disbelievers, the wicked.
