وَإِذْ تَقُولُ لِلَّذِىٓ أَنْعَمَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَأَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِ أَمْسِكْ عَلَيْكَ زَوْجَكَ وَٱتَّقِ ٱللَّهَ وَتُخْفِى فِى نَفْسِكَ مَا ٱللَّهُ مُبْدِيهِ وَتَخْشَى ٱلنَّاسَ وَٱللَّهُ أَحَقُّ أَن تَخْشَىٰهُ ۖ فَلَمَّا قَضَىٰ زَيْدٌ مِّنْهَا وَطَرًا زَوَّجْنَـٰكَهَا لِكَىْ لَا يَكُونَ عَلَى ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ حَرَجٌ فِىٓ أَزْوَٰجِ أَدْعِيَآئِهِمْ إِذَا قَضَوْا۟ مِنْهُنَّ وَطَرًا ۚ وَكَانَ أَمْرُ ٱللَّهِ مَفْعُولًا
When you [Prophet] said to the man who had been favoured by God and by you, ‘Keep your wife and be mindful of God,’ you hid in your heart what God would later reveal: you were afraid of people, but it is more fitting that you fear God. When Zayd no longer wanted her, We gave her to you in marriage so that there might be no fault in believers marrying the wives of their adopted sons after they no longer wanted them. God’s command must be carried out:
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّبِىُّ لِمَ تُحَرِّمُ مَآ أَحَلَّ ٱللَّهُ لَكَ ۖ تَبْتَغِى مَرْضَاتَ أَزْوَٰجِكَ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ
Prophet, why do you prohibit what God has made lawful to you in your desire to please your wives? Yet God is forgiving and merciful:
لَا تُحَرِّكْ بِهِۦ لِسَانَكَ لِتَعْجَلَ بِهِۦٓ
[Prophet], do not rush your tongue in an attempt to hasten [your memorization of] the Revelation:
إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا جَمْعَهُۥ وَقُرْءَانَهُۥ
We shall make sure of its safe collection and recitation.
فَإِذَا قَرَأْنَـٰهُ فَٱتَّبِعْ قُرْءَانَهُۥ
When We have recited it, repeat the recitation
ثُمَّ إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا بَيَانَهُۥ
and We shall make it clear.
عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰٓ
He frowned and turned away
أَن جَآءَهُ ٱلْأَعْمَىٰ
when the blind man came to him––
وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُۥ يَزَّكَّىٰٓ
for all you know, he might have grown in spirit,
أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰٓ
or taken note of something useful to him.
أَمَّا مَنِ ٱسْتَغْنَىٰ
For the self-satisfied one
فَأَنتَ لَهُۥ تَصَدَّىٰ
you go out of your way––
وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ
though you are not to be blamed for his lack of spiritual growth––
وَأَمَّا مَن جَآءَكَ يَسْعَىٰ
but from the one who has come to you full of eagerness
وَهُوَ يَخْشَىٰ
and awe
فَأَنتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهَّىٰ
you allow yourself to be distracted.
