English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ra
English - Five Volume Translation
Him dost thou neglect.
Commentary:
If vv. 6-11 are taken to apply to the Holy Prophet, then the particle أما in the 6th verse would signify "how could it be that" i.e. it cannot be; and these verses would be interpreted as: "How could it be possible that thou shouldst pay attention to him who is disdainfully indifferent and should neglect him who fears God and comes to thee hastening." These verses again constitute an eloquent commentary on the Holy Prophet’s regard for the humble and the suppressed. But the verse under comment may be applied more fittingly to those critics who would find fault with the Holy Prophet’s attitude towards ‘Abdullah bin Ummi Maktum on that particular occasion but who themselves, in their conceit and pride, would behave arrogantly towards the poor and the lowly. Thus these verses have been used ironically; they bring home to the critics their own state of mind; and do not refer to any weakness of the Holy Prophet. The next verse also supports this interpretation.
English - Short Commentary Translation
Him shouldst thou neglect,
Verses 6-11 are applied to the Holy Prophet, the particle Amma in the 6th verse signifies "how could it be that," i.e. 'it cannot be;' and these verses would be interpreted as: 'How could it be possible that thou shouldst pay attention to him who is disdainfully indifferent and should neglect him who fears God and comes to thee hastening.' But these verses may also be applied to the Quraish leader who, as some Commentators are of the view, frowned and turned aside because there came to the Prophet the blind man. In this case these verses would be understood as having been used ironically and as bringing home to the critics of the Holy Prophet their own state of mind, and not referring to any weakness imputed to the Holy Prophet.
