The reason for the revelation of Surat al-Duha
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Shaykh, regarding Surat al-Duha, what is the occasion for the revelation of this surah? And is it addressed to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)?
Answer:
Yes, the reason for the revelation of the surah is that there was a dog in the house of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), under his bed. Jibril refused to come to him because of the presence of this dog; he refused to come to him, and the revelation ceased. The polytheists said, “O Muhammad, we do not see your Lord except that He has forsaken you.” So Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) informed His Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) of the existence of this dog, so he removed it from his house. Jibril then resumed coming to him (peace and blessings be upon him), and Allah revealed this surah: In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.[Ad-Duhaa 93:1-3] And not [Ad-Duhaa 93:4]. In it, Allah reassures His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and responds to the claim of the polytheists. Yes.

May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh

(1) By the morning brightness (2) And [by] the night when it covers with darkness, (3) Your Lord has not taken leave of you, [O Muhammad], nor has He detested [you].
وَالضُّحَىٰ وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا سَجَىٰ مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَىٰAnd the Hereafter is better for you than the first [life].
