contains no other verse that has more hope than this one and we know that the Messenger of Allah will not be satisfied if any of his nation enters the Fire."
Fifthly, in the verses, "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?" our attention is drawn to the blessings bestowed upon the Prophet by Allah together with His favors, which include, the guidance of people through him, or his guidance. The Prophet had no property, yet Allah enriched him. It has been said that, it refers to the contentment and wealth Allah placed in his heart. The Prophet was an orphan but his uncle took care of him and it was with him that he found shelter. It has also been explained as meaning that the Prophet found shelter with Allah and that the meaning of "orphan" is that there was no other like him and Allah sheltered him. As for the verses "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," Allah reminds His Prophet of these blessings and that even before Allah called him to the prophethood, He never neglected him either when he was a young orphan or when he was poor. Rather, Allah called him to the prophethood and had neither abandoned him nor disliked him. How could Allah do so after He had chosen him!
Sixthly, in this verse Allah tells Prophet Muhammad "But tell of the favors of your Lord!" to announce the blessings given to him by Allah and to be thankful for the honor He bestowed upon him. This verse is also applicable to his nation in that they tell of the favors given to them by Allah and that this is both special to the Prophet and general to them.
