| | George Sale rendition of Surah He Frowned(`Abasa)

| 80:1 | | The prophet frowned, and turned aside |
| 80:2 | | because the blind man came unto him |
| 80:3 | | And how dost thou know whether he shall peradventure be cleansed from his sins |
| 80:4 | | or whether he shall be admonished, and the admonition shall profit him |
| 80:5 | | The man who is wealthy |
| 80:6 | | thou receivest respectfully |
| 80:7 | | whereas it is not to be charged on thee, that he is not cleansed |
| 80:8 | | But him who cometh unto thee earnestly seeking his salvation |
| 80:9 | | and who feareth God |
| 80:10 | | dost thou neglect |
| 80:11 | | By no means shouldest thou act thus |
| 80:12 | | Verily the Koran is an admonition; -- and he who is willing retaineth the same; - |
| 80:13 | | written in volumes honourable |
| 80:14 | | exalted, and pure |
| 80:15 | | by the hands of scribes honoured |
| 80:16 | | and just |
| 80:17 | | May man be cursed! What hath seduced him to infidelity |
| 80:18 | | Of what thing doth God create him |
| 80:19 | | Of a drop of seed doth He create him; and He formeth him with proportion |
| 80:20 | | and then facilitateth his passage out of the womb |
| 80:21 | | Afterwards He causeth him to die, and layeth him in the grave |
| 80:22 | | hereafter, when it shall please Him, He shall raise him to life |
| 80:23 | | Assuredly. He hath not hitherto fully performed what God hath commanded him |
| 80:24 | | Let man consider his food; in what manner it is provided |
| 80:25 | | We pour down water by showers |
| 80:26 | | afterwards We cleave the earth in clefts |
| 80:27 | | and We cause corn to spring forth therein |
| 80:28 | | and grapes, and clover |
| 80:29 | | and the olive, and the palm |
| 80:30 | | and gardens planted thick with trees |
| 80:31 | | and fruits, and grass |
| 80:32 | | for the use of yourselves and of your cattle |
| 80:33 | | When the stunning sound of the trumpet shall be heard |
| 80:34 | | on that day shall a man fly from his brother |
| 80:35 | | and his mother, and his father |
| 80:36 | | and his wife, and his children |
| 80:37 | | Every man of them, on that day, shall have business of his own sufficient to employ his thoughts |
| 80:38 | | On that day the faces of some shall be bright |
| 80:39 | | laughing, and joyful |
| 80:40 | | And upon the faces of others, on that day, shall there be dust |
| 80:41 | | darkness shall cover them |
| 80:42 | | These are the unbelievers, the wicked |
