﴿ وَأَمَّا مَنۢ بَخِلَ وَٱسْتَغْنَىٰ ﴾

“But as for him who is niggardly, and thinks that he is self-sufficient,”

But as for one who is niggardly and deems himself self-sufficient,Abū Jahl was niggardly in offering obedience to God and His Prophet; and deems himself self-sufficient � he [Abū Jahl] made it self evident that he considered himself to have no need of either [God or His Prophet].
