Al-Maa'un
سورة الماعونThis is the Arabic text of the Tafsīr al-Jalālayn of Jalāl al-Dīn al-Maḥallī and Jalāl al-Dīn as-Suyūṭī as the OpenITI corpus has it, from the copy of altafsir.com that the COBHUNI project of Hamburg University took: only the commentary on the verses, with no introductions, no edition and no pagination. Nobody has compared it with a printed book or a manuscript, and no scholar has reviewed it. Each passage stands beside the verses it comments on, which are the Qur’ān text of Tanzil, shown as it is there. Beneath each passage stands its English translation by Feras Hamza, as the copy of Tarteel’s Quranic Universal Library has it; nobody has compared that copy with the printed book either.

أَرَءَيْتَ ٱلَّذِى يُكَذِّبُ بِٱلدِّينِ 1
{ أرءيت الذى يكذب بالدين } بالجزاء والحساب، أي هل عرفته وإن لم تعرفه.
Have you seen him who denies the Judgement?, the Requital and the Reckoning, that is to say, ‘Do you know who he is?’ If you do not know him then:
فَذَٰلِكَ ٱلَّذِى يَدُعُّ ٱلْيَتِيمَ 2
{ فذلك } بتقدير هو بعد الفاء { الذى يدع اليتيم } أي يدفعه بعنف عن حقه.
That is he (read an implied huwa after the fā’ [of fa-dhālika]) who repels the orphan, that is to say, [who] violently drives him away from what is his due,
وَلَا يَحُضُّ عَلَىٰ طَعَامِ ٱلْمِسْكِينِ 3
{ ولا يحض } نفسه ولا غيره { على طعام المسكين } أي إطعامه. نزلت في العاصي بن وائل أو الوليد بن المغيرة.
and does not urge, either himself or others [to], the feeding of the needy: this was revealed regarding al-‘Āsī b. Wā’il or al-Walīd b. al-Mughīra.
فَوَيْلٌ لِّلْمُصَلِّينَ 4
{ فويل للمصلين }.
So woe to them who pray,
ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ عَن صَلَاتِهِمْ سَاهُونَ 5
{ الذين هم عن صلاتهم ساهون } غافلون يؤخرونها عن وقتها.
those who are heedless of their prayers, neglectful, delaying them from their appointed times,
ٱلَّذِينَ هُمْ يُرَآءُونَ 6
{ الذين هم يرآءون } في الصلاة وغيرها.
those who make a pretence, with prayers and otherwise,
وَيَمْنَعُونَ ٱلْمَاعُونَ 7
{ ويمنعون الماعون } كالإبرة والفأس والقدر والقصعة.
and deny aid, as [insignificant as] a needle, a hatchet, a cooking pot or a bowl.
