The Disbelievers’ Accusation of Soothsaying Against You:
This verse is connected to the previous verse: ﴿وَإِنَّهُ لَتَنزِيلُ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ﴾. After mentioning some conditions of those who denied the Quran in between, the original subject is resumed. Among the accusations of the disbelievers of Makkah was also this: they used to call you a soothsayer and considered you as such. Thus, Jundub bin Sufyan narrates that once the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was unwell and for two or three nights did not get up for the Tahajjud prayer. A woman (A’warā’ bint Harb, the sister of Abu Sufyan, the wife of Abu Lahab) came to you and said, “Muhammad ﷺ! I think your devil has left you. He has not come to you for two or three nights.” At that time, Allah Almighty revealed these verses: ﴿وَالضُّحَىٰ وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا سَجَىٰ مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَىٰ﴾ [بخاری۔ کتاب التفسیر۔ تفسیر سورۃ والضحیٰ]
