42. (That is) those who are patient and put their trust [43] in their Lord.
[43] That is, in Makkah, they endured the oppression of the Quraysh of Makkah with patience. And during their new life in Abyssinia, they bore the difficulties and hardships that came their way with patience and gratitude. And they had complete certainty that the promises Allah had made to them would surely be fulfilled. Therefore, in every difficult time, they relied only upon Allah.
