Surah Ad Duha Translation With Short Tafseer
Al-Bukhari, Muslim, At-Tirmidhi, An-Nasa’i, Ibn Abi Hatim and Ibn Jarir, all recorded this Hadith. In a narration from Al-Aswad bin Qays, he said that he heard Jundub say that Jibril [peace be upon him] was slow in coming to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. So the idolators said, “Muhammad’s Lord has abandoned him.” So Allah revealed,

وَالضُّحَىٰ – وَالَّيْلِ إِذَا سَجَىٰ –

{By the morning brightness, And [by] the night when it covers with darkness,}

“When the Qur’an was revealed to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, Jibril was delayed from coming to him for a number of days (on one occasion which is discussed in the first Paragraph). So idoltars started to say, ‘His lord hates him, So Allah Revealed ,

مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَىٰ

{Your Lord has not taken leave of you, [O Muḥammad], nor has He detested [you].}

وَلَلْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ لَّكَ مِنَ الْأُولَىٰ

{And the Hereafter is better for you than the first [life].}

Meaning that the Life of Hereafter is better than the the First ( wordly) life.

وَلَسَوْفَ يُعْطِيكَ رَبُّكَ فَتَرْضَىٰ

{And your Lord is going to give you, and you will be satisfied.}

Now Allah Mentions His Favours Upon Prophet Muhammad ﷺ
أَلَمْ يَجِدْكَ يَتِيمًا فَآوَىٰ

{Did He not find you an orphan and give [you] refuge?}

Allah ask Prophet a question ” Didn’t he find him as a Orphan and give him Refuge? — This refers to the fact that Prophet’s Father died while his mother was still pregnant with him, and his mother died when Prophet Muhammad saw was only six years old.

Then Allah says ,

وَوَجَدَكَ ضَالًّا فَهَدَىٰ

{And He found you lost and guided [you],}

وَوَجَدَكَ عَائِلًا فَأَغْنَىٰ

{And He found you poor and made [you] self-sufficient.}

فَأَمَّا الْيَتِيمَ فَلَا تَقْهَرْ

{So as for the orphan, So do not oppress them.}

Meaning as Prophet was an orphan and Allah Sheltered him, So Allah says “Do not Oppress the Orphan.”

وَأَمَّا السَّائِلَ فَلَا تَنْهَرْ

{nor repulse the beggar.}

وَأَمَّا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّكَ فَحَدِّثْ

{And proclaim the blessings of your Lord.}
