[Shakir 80:3] And what would make you know that he would purify himself,
[Pickthal 80:3] What could inform thee but that he might grow (in grace)
[Yusufali 80:3] But what could tell thee but that perchance he might grow (in spiritual understanding)?-

[Shakir 80:7] And no blame is on you if he would not purify himself
[Pickthal 80:7] Yet it is not thy concern if he grow not (in grace).
[Yusufali 80:7] Though it is no blame to thee if he grow not (in spiritual understanding).
وَأَمَّا مَنْ جَاءَكَ يَسْعَىٰ {8}

[Shakir 80:12] So let him who pleases mind it.
[Pickthal 80:12] So let whosoever will pay heed to it,
