Abasa: (5) "As for he who is self-sufficient"

(As for he who is self-sufficient), that is, self-sufficient from faith and from the sciences and knowledge you possess which are contained within the Qur’an. In this meaning, it has been said: he is self-sufficient due to his disbelief, [feeling no need] for that which would guide him. It has also been said: it means, "As for he who possessed wealth and affluence." This was contested by the argument that, if that were the case, poverty would have been mentioned in opposition to it. A reply to this has been provided, which you shall come to know, God Almighty willing.
