Muhsin Khan Your Lord (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) has neither forsaken you nor hated you. Yusuf Ali Thy Guardian-Lord hath not forsaken thee, nor is He displeased. Dr. Ghali In no way has your Lord disregarded you, and in no way has He disfavored you.

Dr. Ghali And indeed your Lord will eventually give you so that you will be satisfied. Tafsir al-Jalalayn And verily your Lord shall give you, in the Hereafter, of good things, a bounteous gift, and you shall be satisfied, with it — and so the Prophet (s) said, ‘In that case, I shall not be satisfied if a single person from among my community remains in the Fire’ (the response to the oath terminates here, with two affirmations and two negations). | | 93:6 | Transliteration Alam yajidka yateeman faawa Sahih International Did He not find you an orphan and give [you] refuge? Muhsin Khan Did He not find you (O Muhammad (Peace be upon him)) an orphan and gave you a refuge? Yusuf Ali Did He not find thee an orphan and give thee shelter (and care)? Dr. Ghali Did He not find you an orphan, so He gave (you) an abode, Tafsir al-Jalalayn Did He not find you an orphan (an interrogative meant as an affirmative, in other words, He did [indeed] find you [an orphan]), having lost your father before you were born or [shortly] thereafter, and shelter you?, by having your uncle Ab?

Muhsin Khan And He found you poor, and made you rich (selfsufficient with selfcontentment, etc.)? Yusuf Ali And He found thee in need, and made thee independent. Dr. Ghali And He found you in want, so He enriched (you)? Tafsir al-Jalalayn And did He not find you needy, poor, and enrich you?, [and] made you content with the spoils and other things which He gave you — in a had?th [it is stated], ‘Wealth comes not from the proliferation of transient [worldly] goods, but wealth comes from the contentedness of the soul’. | | 93:9 | Transliteration Faamma alyateema fala taqhar Sahih International So as for the orphan, do not oppress [him]. Muhsin Khan Therefore, treat not the orphan with oppression, Yusuf Ali Therefore, treat not the orphan with harshness, Dr. Ghali Then, as for the orphan, then do not subdue (him), Tafsir al-Jalalayn So, as for the orphan, do not oppress [him], by appropriating his wealth or otherwise, | | 93:10 | Transliteration Waamma assa-ila falatanhar Sahih International And as for the petitioner, do not repel [him].

Dr. Ghali And as for your Lord's favor, then discourse about it! (i.e., proclaim it). Tafsir al-Jalalayn and as for your Lord’s grace, to you, by way of prophethood and otherwise, proclaim [it], make it known. The omission in certain instances of the [suffixed] pronoun referring to the Prophet (s) from the end of the verbs is intended to sustain the end-rhyme of the verses. |
