أَرَءَيْتَ ٱلَّذِى يُكَذِّبُ بِٱلدِّينِ.(1)

Have you seen the one who denies the Recompense?(1) [Al-Maaun: 1, 2, 3]

Understanding of the Ayah Tafseer · Jalalain

(Al-Mâ‘ûn) [107:1] 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:
[107:2] 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,
[107:3] 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.

[107:4] So woe to them who pray,

[107:5] those who are heedless of their prayers, neglectful, delaying them from their appointed times,

[107:6] those who make a pretence, with prayers and otherwise,

[107:7] and deny aid, as [insignificant as] a needle, a hatchet, a cooking pot or a bowl.
