This sura is either Makkan or Medinan or half and half and has 6 or 7 ayats.
{ أَرَأَيْت الَّذِي يُكَذِّب بِالدِّينِ } بِالْجَزَاءِ وَالْحِسَاب أَيْ هَلْ عَرَفْته وَإِنْ لَمْ تَعْرِفهُ
1. Have you seen him who denies the din – denies the Repayment and the Reckoning? “Do you recognise him, even if he does not acknowledge it?”
{ فَذَلِكَ } بِتَقْدِيرِ هُوَ بَعْد الْفَاء { الَّذِي يَدُعّ الْيَتِيم } أَيْ يَدْفَعهُ بِعُنْفٍ عَنْ حَقّه
2. He is the one who harshly rebuffs the orphan – and fails to give him his rights –
{ وَلَا يَحُضّ } نَفْسه وَلَا غَيْره { عَلَى طَعَام الْمِسْكِين } أَيْ إِطْعَامه نَزَلَتْ فِي الْعَاصِي بْن وائل أو الوليد بن المغيرة
3. …and does not urge on himself or anyone else the feeding of the poor. This was revealed about al-‘Asibn Wa’il or al-Walid ibn al- Mughira.
{ فويل للمصلين }
4. So woe to those who do the prayer,
{ الَّذِينَ هُمْ عَنْ صَلَاتهمْ سَاهُونَ } غَافِلُونَ يُؤَخِّرُونَهَا عن وقتها
5. … but are forgetful of their prayer – neglect their prayer and delay it past its time –
{ الذين هم يراؤون } فِي الصَّلَاة وَغَيْرهَا
6. …those who show off in the prayer and other actions –
{ وَيَمْنَعُونَ الْمَاعُون } كَالْإِبْرَةِ وَالْفَأْس والقدر والقصعة
7. …and deny help to others. They refuse to lend even things like needles, axes, pots and plates.
