In this short chapter, Allah tells the Prophet he has been given Kawthar which is a river having an adjacent pool (over which his pulpit is positioned in his mosque, next to his tomb).
It has been said that it is a river (within) Paradise, profuse blessings, intercession and the multitude of miracles given to him, and his Prophethood.
The statement "Surely, he who hates you, he is the most severed" refers to the Prophet’s enemies and those who despise him.
"Severed" bears the meaning of wretched, abased, abandoned, and one who has no good in him whatsoever.
Allah tells his Prophet in chapter (15:87): "We have given you the seven duals and the Mighty Holy Reading."
There are several explanations given to this verse. "The seven duals" have been explained as referring to the first lengthy chapters and that "the Mighty Holy Reading" is the first chapter, "The Opener – Al Fatihah".
It has also been said that "the seven duals" is the Mother of the Koran meaning "The Opener" and that the "Mighty Holy Reading" refers to the remaining chapters of the Koran. It has also been said that "the seven duals" refer to the commands and prohibitions, good news and warnings.
"The Mother of the Koran" has also been said to be the "seven duals" because it is read at least twice in each of the daily prayers.
It has also been said that Allah reserved it for Prophet Muhammad and did not give it to the other noble prophets, or that He called the Koran "the seven duals" because of the repetition of its stories.
And, it has been said that "the seven duals" bears the meaning that Allah honored His Prophet with seven distinctions, honor, guidance, prophecy, mercy, intercession, friendship and veneration with tranquility.
