80:3
وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُۥ يَزَّكَّىٰٓ ٣
But what would make you perceive, [O Muḥammad], that perhaps he might be purified1
80:4
أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنفَعَهُ ٱلذِّكْرَىٰٓ ٤

80:5
أَمَّا مَنِ ٱسْتَغْنَىٰ ٥
As for he who thinks himself without need,1
80:6
فَأَنتَ لَهُۥ تَصَدَّىٰ ٦

وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ ٧
And not upon you [is any blame] if he will not be purified.1
80:8
وَأَمَّا مَن جَآءَكَ يَسْعَىٰ ٨

فِى صُحُفٍۢ مُّكَرَّمَةٍۢ ١٣
