Meanings
Have you seen him who denies the Recompense?

That is he who repulses the orphan (harshly),

And urges not the feeding of AlMiskin (the poor),

So woe unto those performers of Salat (prayers) (hypocrites),

Who delay their Salat (prayer) from their stated fixed times,

Those who do good deeds only to be seen (of men),

And refuse Al-Ma'un (small kindnesses e.g. salt, sugar, water, etc.).

Translation:Noble Quran, 1999

Have you seen the one who denies the Recompense?

For that is the one who drives away the orphan

And does not encourage the feeding of the poor.

So woe to those who pray

[But] who are heedless of their prayer -

Those who make show [of their deeds]

And withhold [simple] assistance.

Translation:Saheeh International, 1997

Seest thou one who denies the Judgment (to come)?

Then such is the (man) who repulses the orphan (with harshness),

And encourages not the feeding of the indigent.

So woe to the worshippers

Who are neglectful of their prayers,

Those who (want but) to be seen (of men),

But refuse (to supply) (even) neighbourly needs.

Translation:Yusuf Ali, 1934

Hast thou observed him who belieth religion?

That is he who repelleth the orphan,

And urgeth not the feeding of the needy.

Ah, woe unto worshippers

Who are heedless of their prayer;

Who would be seen (at worship)

Yet refuse small kindnesses!

Translation:Pickthall, 1930
