In the chapter "Mid-Morning" Allah says, "By the mid-morning, and by the night when it covers, your Lord has not forsaken you (Prophet Muhammad), nor does He hate you. The Last shall be better for you than the First. Your Lord will give you, and you will be satisfied. Did He not find you an orphan and give you shelter? Did He not find you a wanderer so He guided you? Did He not find you poor and suffice you? Do not oppress the orphan, nor drive away the one who asks. But tell of the favors of your Lord!" (Chapter 93).
There is a difference of opinion regarding the circumstances relating to the revelation of this chapter. There are those who are of the opinion that it was revealed at a time when, for an excusable status, the Prophet , did not offer his customary prayer during the night. Others are of the opinion that it was revealed when an unbelieving woman (the wife of Abu Jahl) spread rumors, or when the unbelievers started to pass derogatory remarks during a period when the Revelation was less frequent in its sending.
It further demonstrates the absolute assurance of the honor in which Allah appraises His beloved Prophet together with His praising and the care He has for him which is made evident in six different ways:
First of all, the opening verses of this chapter, "By the mid-morning, and by the night when it covers," is amongst one of the highest forms of esteem Allah gave His Prophet .
Secondly, Allah clarifies his situation, and favors saying, "your Lord has not forsaken you (Prophet Muhammad), nor does He hate you." In other words, Allah had not abandoned him, and He makes it very clear that He does not neglect him. It has also been said that, Allah did not neglect him after choosing him, neither did He dislike him.
Thirdly, note the words, "The last shall be better for you than the first" Isaac's son explained the meaning of this verse to be that when the Prophet returned to Allah his honor became even greater than the honor given to him in this world. Sahl At-Tustori said that it refers to the intercession granted to the Prophet and the praiseworthy station Allah has reserved especially for him in the Everlasting Life, which is greater than he was given in this life.
Fourthly, from the verse, "your Lord will give you, and you will be satisfied" we learn not only of his honor in this world and in the Everlasting Life but the happiness and blessings in both. Isaac's son explained it saying, "Allah will satisfy him by sending relief in this world and also reward him in the Everlasting life. The Prophet will be given the Pool adjacent to Kawthar, the grand right of intercession and the praised status." Referring to this verse, a member of the Prophet's family (Lady Ayesha) said, "The Koran
