أَمَّا مَنِ ٱسْتَغْنَىٰ
Amm a mani istaghn a
Now as for him who believes himself to be self-sufficient2 -
  - Mohammad Asad

I.e., who does not feel the need of divine guidance: a reference to the arrogant pagan chieftains with whom the Prophet was conversing.

As for him who is indifferent,
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
As for the one who was indifferent,
  - Mustafa Khattab
As for him who thinketh himself independent,
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
As to one who regards himself as self-sufficient 5952
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali

Such a one would be a Pagan Quraish leader, whom the holy Prophet was anxious to get into his fold, in order that the work of preaching Allah's Message might be facilitated. But such a Message works first amongst the simple and lowly, the poor and despised folk, and the mighty ones of the earth only come in when the stream rushes in with irresistible force.
