Surah 108. Al-Kauthar, Ayah 3
| إِنَّ شَانِئَكَ هُوَ الْأَبْتَرُ |
| Transliteration | : | 'inna shaani' -ka huwa al- abtar |
| Pickthall | : | Lo! It is thy insulter (and not thou) who is without posterity. |
| Asad | : | Verily, he that hates thee has indeed been cut off [from all that is good]!2 |
| Malik | : | Surely your enemy is the one who will be cut off from the root. |
| Yusuf Ali | : | For he who hateth thee he will be cut off (from Future Hope). 6288 |
Note - 2Lit., "it is he that is cut off (abtar)". The addition,
between brackets, of the phrase "from all that is good"
is based on an explanation forthcoming from the Qamus.

Note - 6288Hatred and spite are not constructive contributions to
the work of this world, but its opposites. Abu Jahl and
his Pagan confederates vented their personal spite and
venom against the holy Prophet by taunting him with the
loss of his two infant sons by Khadija, but where were
these venomous detractors a few years afterwards, when
the divine Light shone more brilliantly than ever? It was
these that were cut off from all future hope, in this
world and the next.
