Sura 93
Aya 8
8
وَوَجَدَكَ عائِلًا فَأَغنىٰ

Mir Ahmed Ali

And1 (He) found thee in need, and (immediately) made thee independent.
  • Commentators interpret this verse as a reference to the pecuniary provisions which the Holy Prophet received from the wealth of his wife Khadija and what he got through the leftover of the enemies, he dedicated for the defensive battles. But it would be too low and even a very mean estimate of the provision which God says that He has made for the Holy Prophet. God’s provision would be in accordance with God’s Geatness and glory. The Eighth Holy Imam Ali ibne Musa ar-Riza says that the word ‘Yateem’ here means lonely. The Holy Prophet was lonely, alone without any friends or sympathisers and God directed the hearts of men and got the people around him as his devotees.
