Exegesis of the saying of Allah the Exalted: “And as for the favor of your Lord, then speak of it”

Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, at the end of Surat al-Duha, in the saying of Allah the Exalted: What is the meaning of this verse? And who is being addressed by it? May you be rewarded.

Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds. And may prayers and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions. This is Surat al-Duha, in which the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) is addressed from its beginning to its end. In this noble surah, Allah enumerated for him a number of His blessings upon him, . This is because the revelation had ceased from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) for a period due to a reason that was explained to him (peace and blessings be upon him), so He removed the obstacle that was preventing Jibril from coming to him, and the connection was restored. The polytheists, when the revelation ceased from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), said, "Your Lord has forsaken you," meaning He has abandoned you, and they rejoiced in that. So Allah revealed this surah, and then He said at its conclusion: Mention this blessing openly by speaking of it with your tongue, and this is one of the pillars of gratitude, because gratitude has three pillars: the first pillar is mentioning it openly, and the second pillar is acknowledging internally that it is from Allah.
The third pillar is spending it in obedience to Allah Mighty and Majestic, in obedience to its bestower and its grantor, who is Allah Glorified and Exalted is He. These are the three pillars of gratitude, and among them is . Yes.
