Saheeh International

1. The Prophet frowned and turned away

2. Because there came to him the blind man, [interrupting]

3. But what would make you perceive, [O Muhammad], that perhaps he might be purified

4. Or be reminded and the remembrance would benefit him

5. As for he who thinks himself without need

6. To him you give attention

7. And not upon you [is any blame] if he will not be purified

8. But as for he who came to you striving [for knowledge]

9. While he fears [Allah]

10. From him you are distracted

11. No! Indeed, these verses are a reminder

12. So whoever wills may remember it

14. Exalted and purified

15. [Carried] by the hands of messenger-angels

16. Noble and dutiful

17. Cursed is man; how disbelieving is he

18. From what substance did He create him

19. From a sperm-drop He created him and destined for him

20. Then He eased the way for him

21. Then He causes his death and provides a grave for him

22. Then when He wills, He will resurrect him

23. No! Man has not yet accomplished what He commanded him
