Sūrat al-Ma'un

The Small Kindnesses
Or Neighbourly Needs

Verse 4

Arabic

ﻓَﻮَﻳْﻞٌ ﻟِﻠْﻤُﺼَﻠِّﻴﻦ

Transliteration:

Fa waelun lil musal leen

Meaning:

4. So, woe unto those performers of Salah,

Tafsir:

ﻓَﻮَﻳْﻞٌ ﻟِﻠْﻤُﺼَﻠِّﻴﻦ
So, woe unto those performers of Salah,
(those who with their Salah are Sahun.)

Ibn `Abbas and others have said, "This means the hypocrites who pray in public but do not pray in private.''

Thus, Allah says,
﴿ﻟِّﻠْﻤُﺼَﻠِّﻴﻦَ﴾
(unto those performers of Salah,) They are those people who pray and adhere to the prayer, yet they are mindless of it. This may either be referring to its act entirely, as Ibn `Abbas said, or it may be referring to performing it in its
stipulated time that has been legislated Islamically. This means that the person prays it completely outside of its
time.
