Exegesis of the saying of Allah the Exalted: “Indeed, with hardship comes ease”

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Abu 'Abd al-Mu'min from Riyadh asks about the saying of Allah the Exalted:
(1) Did We not expand for you, [O Muhammad], your breast? (2) And We removed from you your burden (3) Which had weighed upon your back (4) And raised high for you your repute. (5) For indeed, with hardship [will be] ease. (6) Indeed, with hardship [will be] ease.أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ وَوَضَعْنَا عَنكَ وِزْرَكَ الَّذِي أَنقَضَ ظَهْرَكَ وَرَفَعْنَا لَكَ ذِكْرَكَ فَإِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا إِنَّ مَعَ الْعُسْرِ يُسْرًا
[Ash-Sharh 94:1-6]
How is that the case?

Answer:
It is so because whoever is afflicted with hardship, ease is near him, with this companionship. So the Muslim does not become weary of the hardship when it befalls him, because relief is near him. “Indeed, with hardship comes ease” is mentioned twice: “Indeed, with hardship comes ease.” So one hardship is accompanied by two eases, and one hardship will not overcome two eases. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
