Exegesis of the beginning of Surat al-Duha

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: What is the meaning of the verse at the beginning of Surat al-Duha:
(1) By the morning brightness (2) And [by] the night when it covers with darkness,وَالضُّحَىٰ وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا سَجَىٰ
[Ad-Duhaa 93:1-2]
Your Lord has not taken leave of you, [O Muhammad], nor has He detested [you].مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَىٰ
[Ad-Duhaa 93:3]
?

Answer:
These are parts of the oath by which Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, swore from among His signs: al-Duha, meaning the forenoon, and the night when it becomes still. He swore by the night and He swore by the day, for they are among the greatest of His signs, Glorified and Exalted is He.
Your Lord has not taken leave of you, [O Muhammad], nor has He detested [you].مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَىٰ
[Ad-Duhaa 93:3]
This is because the revelation was delayed from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), so the polytheists rejoiced and said, "Your Lord has abandoned you and is displeased with you." So Allah, Mighty and Majestic, denied this.
Your Lord has not taken leave of youمَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ
[Ad-Duhaa 93:3]
means He did not leave you without recitation.
"He has not forsaken you" meansما ودعك يعني
He did not leave you.
"Nor has He become displeased with you"وما قلى
means He did not hate you. But the reason for the delay of the revelation was that there was a snake in his house, of which he was unaware, a snake like a dog, of which he was unaware, so he ordered it to be removed. Yes.
