Sirat Ibn Hisham 273
The pause in revelation and the sending down of Surah al-Duha
[ فَتْرَةُ الْوَحْيِ وَنُزُولُ سُورَةِ الضُّحَى ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: ثُمَّ فَتَرَ الْوَحْيُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَتْرَةً مِنْ ذَلِكَ، حَتَّى شَقَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِ فَأَحْزَنَهُ، فَجَاءَهُ جِبْرِيلُ بِسُورَةِ الضُّحَى، يُقْسِمُ لَهُ رَبُّهُ، وَهُوَ الَّذِي أَكْرَمَهُ بِمَا أَكْرَمَهُ بِهِ، مَا وَدَّعَهُ وَمَا قَلَاهُ، فَقَالَ تَعَالَى: وَالضُّحَى وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا سَجَى مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَى يَقُولُ: مَا صَرَمَكَ فَتَرَكَكَ، وَمَا أَبْغَضَكَ مُنْذُ أَحَبَّكَ. وَلَلْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لَكَ مِنَ الْأُولَى أَيْ لِمَا عِنْدِي مِنْ مَرْجِعِكَ إلَيَّ، خَيْرٌ لَكَ مِمَّا عَجَّلْتَ لَكَ مِنْ الْكَرَامَةِ فِي الدُّنْيَا. وَلَسَوْفَ يُعْطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرْضَى مِنْ الْفُلْجِ فِي الدُّنْيَا، وَالثَّوَابِ فِي الْآخِرَةِ. أَلَمْ يَجِدْكَ يَتِيمًا فَآوَى وَوَجَدَكَ ضَالًّا فَهَدَى وَوَجَدَكَ عَائِلًا فَأَغْنَى يُعَرِّفُهُ اللَّهُ مَا ابْتَدَأَهُ بِهِ مِنْ كَرَامَتِهِ فِي عَاجِلِ أَمْرِهِ، وَمَنِّهِ عَلَيْهِ فِي يُتْمِهِ وَعَيْلَتِهِ وَضَلَالَتِهِ، وَاسْتِنْقَاذِهِ مِنْ ذَلِكَ كُلِّهِ بِرَحْمَتِهِ
Translation
✧ [The interval of revelation and the sending down of Surat al-Duha] Ibn Ishaq said: Then the revelation ceased from the Messenger of God ﷺ for a period after that, until that distressed him and saddened him. Then Gabriel came to him with Surat al-Duha, in which his Lord swore to him—He who had honored him with what He had honored him—that He had not forsaken him nor hated him. He, exalted, said: "By the forenoon, and by the night when it grows still, your Lord has not forsaken you, nor hated you" (Q 93:1–3), meaning: He has not cut you off and abandoned you, and He has not hated you since He loved you. "And the Hereafter is better for you than the first" (Q 93:4), meaning: what I have for you in your return to Me is better for you than the honor I hastened for you in this world. "And your Lord will give you, and you will be satisfied" (Q 93:5), of success in this world and reward in the Hereafter. "Did He not find you an orphan and shelter you? And He found you astray and guided you. And He found you poor and enriched you" (Q 93:6–8). God makes known to him what He began with him of His honor in the immediate matter of his affair, and His favor upon him in his orphanhood, his poverty, and his straying, and His rescue of him from all of that by His mercy.
