You never know ˹O Prophet˺, perhaps he may be purified,

or he may be mindful, benefitting from the reminder.

As for the one who was indifferent,
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
you gave him your ˹undivided˺ attention,
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
even though you are not to blame if he would not be purified.
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
But as for the one who came to you, eager ˹to learn˺,
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
being in awe ˹of Allah˺,
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
you were inattentive to him.
— Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran
But no! This ˹revelation˺ is truly a reminder.
