Some hints about the terrible incidents of the Day of Judgment' and the fate of the believers and unbelievers on that Day. The name of the Surah is derived from its first verse.

The Virtue in Studying this Surah A tradition from (S) says: “One who studies Surah 'Abasa will arrive at the Gathering Place smiling and rejoicing will arrive at the Gathering Place smiling and rejoicing on The Day of Judgment.” Surah ‘Abasa, Verses 1-10 بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ In The Name of Allah, The Beneficent, The Merciful عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ أَنْ جَاءَهُ الْأَعْمَىٰ وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ لَعَلَّهُ يَزَّكَّىٰ أَوْ يَذَّكَّرُ فَتَنْفَعَهُ الذِّكْرَىٰ أَمَّا مَنِ اسْتَغْنَىٰ فَأَنْتَ لَهُ تَصَدَّىٰ وَمَا عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا يَزَّكَّىٰ وَأَمَّا مَنْ جَاءَكَ يَسْعَىٰ وَهُوَ يَخْشَىٰ فَأَنْتَ عَنْهُ تَلَهَّىٰ 1.

“He frowned and turned away,” 2. "Because there came to him the blind man." 3. “And what would make you know that he might (spiritually) purify himself,” 4 “Or become reminded so that the reminder might profit him?" 5. “As to one who regards himself self‑sufficient,” 6. “To him do you address yourself!" 7. “Though it is no blame on you if he would not (spiritually) purify himself.” 8. "But as to him who comes to you striving hard,” 9. “And he fears (Allah in his heart),” 10.

"Of him wast thou unmindful." The Occasion of Revelation These words show that Allah has blamed someone for an action which gave superiority to a man or men of wealth rather than to a blind man who was seeking the truth. But who was the admonished one?
