In the verses that follow, Allah says, 'and relieved you of your burden that weighed down your back' (94:2-8). Both Al Mawardi and As Sulami are of the opinion that the meaning refers to the Message that weighed down upon his back before the Prophet delivered it. It has also been said by As-Samakandi to mean Allah protected the Prophet from sin otherwise sins would have burdened his back.
The chapter continues, 'Have We not raised your remembrance?' (94:4). This verse has been explained by Yahya, Adam's son as the bestowal of the Prophethood upon Muhammad.
And it was said, "When I, (Allah) am mentioned, you are mentioned with Me in the proclamation: 'there is no god except Allah, and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.'" Also it was said it is regarding raising his name as mentioned and repeated in each Call to Prayer.
It is now very clear that these words of Allah confirm the enormity of the favor He bestowed upon Prophet Muhammad together with the exalted rank the Prophet has before Him together with his honorable position. Allah expanded his chest to belief and guidance, making it wide enough to contain both the knowledge and wisdom.
Allah protected His Prophet from the burden of everything contemptible in "The Age of Ignorance" (Jahiliyya) by making them repugnant to him, giving victory to His Religion over all previous Religions.
The weighty responsibility of the message, and Prophethood was lightened for him by Allah, so that he was able to present the entrusted message sent down to him to mankind. Again, Allah stresses the Prophet's superlative position, his tremendous rank, and great prominence by raising his name in the company of His Own Name. Of this Katada said, "Allah exalted his fame in the world, and in the Everlasting Life. There is no witness, nor yet one who offers the prayer who does not say, 'There is no god except Allah, Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.'"
Abu Sayeid Al Khudri narrated that the Prophet said, "Gabriel came to me and said, 'My Lord and your Lord says: Do you know how I have raised your name? When My Name is mentioned, he is mentioned with Me."
Allah says, "Obey Allah and His Messenger" (3:32) and "Believers, believe in Allah and His Messenger" (4:136). Here it is evident that obedience to Allah is connected to our being obedient to His Prophet and notice how his name is mentioned alongside with the Name of Allah.
Note how Allah added the Prophet after Him with the word "and". It is evident and stresses the importance of the Prophet’s favored, prominent status that was not bestowed upon any of the other prophets or messengers of Allah.
Huthaifa informs us that the Prophet said, "No one should say, 'What Allah wills and (wa) so-and-so wills,' rather one should say, 'What Allah wills" and thereafter say, 'then so-and-so wills."
