Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He has another question, asking: What is the occasion of revelation of Surat al-Inshirah?[Ash-Sharh 94:1]? Is it specific to the Messenger? And what is the benefit derived from it?
Answer:
Surat al-Inshirah is specific to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Allah expanded his chest with a physical expansion by the hands of the two angels who descended and took him while he was a child, split his chest, extracted his heart, and cleaned it of all malice and hatred, then returned it, and he was cured by the permission of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). It was as if nothing had happened; it was as if his chest had not been split, (peace and blessings be upon him). This is a miracle, or this is called the introduction to the message; it is called the introduction to his message (peace and blessings be upon him). Likewise, Allah expanded his chest with a spiritual expansion. He (Exalted and Majestic is He) said:[Al-An'am 6:125]. This expansion for Islam is specific to every believer and every Muslim. As for the expansion of the chest in the sense of splitting the chest, that is specific to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) as a sign of his prophethood (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.
