9And those who strictly guard their (five obligatory) prayers (in congregation and at fixed times).
9The reason for descending the verse
Abdurrahman ibn ‘Abd al-Qari’ who said, “I heard ‘Umar ibn Al-Khattab say, ‘When the revelation came to the Messenger of Allah, one could hear at the level of his face buzzing like the buzzing of bees. Once, he remained in this state for a while and then turned toward the qiblah, raised his hands and said, ‘O Allah, give us more and do not take away from us; honour us and do not humiliate us; grant us and do not deprive us; prefer us and do not prefer anyone over us; make us pleased and be pleased with us’. Then he said, ‘Ten verses have just been revealed to me; whoever practises them will enter the Garden’. He then read, (Successful indeed are the believers) up to the tenth verse.’”(Al-Wahidi,Reasons of Revelation)
