عَبَسَ وَ تَوَلّٰۤىۙ (1) اَنْ جَآءَهُ الْاَعْمٰىﭤ(2) وَ مَا یُدْرِیْكَ لَعَلَّهٗ یَزَّ كّٰۤىۙ (3) اَوْ یَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنْفَعَهُ الذِّكْرٰىﭤ(4) اَمَّا مَنِ اسْتَغْنٰىۙ (5) فَاَنْتَ لَهٗ تَصَدّٰىﭤ(6) وَ مَا عَلَیْكَ اَلَّا یَزَّ كّٰىﭤ(7) وَ اَمَّا مَنْ جَآءَكَ یَسْعٰىۙ (8) وَ هُوَ یَخْشٰىۙ (9) فَاَنْتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهّٰىۚ (10)

Kanz-ul-Irfan

He frowned and turned away. [1] That a blind man came to him. [1] You never know, ˹dear Beloved Prophet˺, he may attain purity, or pay heed, so advice benefits him. As for the one who did not care, so you pursue him. And there is no blame upon you that he (the disbeliever) does not attain purity. And as for the one who hastened to you. And he is in awe of Allah. So you overlook him and turn your attention ˹to another˺.

Commentary

[1]

In the first ten verses of this Surah, Allah Almighty mentioned the greatness of the Holy Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم and one aspect of him being the beloved of Allah; when the Holy Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم used his independent reasoning to consider one act as more important and gave it preference over another act, Allah Almighty instructed the Prophet صَلَّى الـلّٰـهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم in a beautifully subtle way.

[2]

This blind individual was Sayyidunā ʿAbdullāh ibn Umm Maktūm رَضِىَ اللهُ عَـنْهُ and by referring to him as blind, there is an indication towards his disability.
