The reason for the revelation of Surat al-Duha and the meaning of its beginning

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He also says in his second paragraph: What is the reason for the revelation 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]
, and what is intended in its beginning?

Answer:
The reason for that is that a dog's puppy was under the bed of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was not aware of it. So Jibril refrained from coming to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) because of that, and the revelation ceased. The revelation ceased from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) during this period until the polytheists said, "Your Lord has forsaken you," meaning He has abandoned you, and they rejoiced over that. And Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) swore by the morning brightness, which is the beginning of the day, and the night when it becomes still, which is the beginning of the night. This is among His (Glorified and Exalted is He) great signs, and He (Blessed and Exalted is He) swears by whatever He wills from His creation, and He does not swear except by something that contains a lesson and a sign from His (Glorified and Exalted is He) signs.
Your Lord has not taken leave of you, [O Muhammad], nor has He detested [you].مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَىٰ
[Ad-Duhaa 93:3]
Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
