At-Talaq
وَيَرۡزُقۡهُ مِنۡ حَيۡثُ لَا يَحۡتَسِبُۚ وَمَن يَتَوَكَّلۡ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ فَهُوَ حَسۡبُهُۥٓۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ بَٰلِغُ أَمۡرِهِۦۚ قَدۡ جَعَلَ ٱللَّهُ لِكُلِّ شَيۡءٖ قَدۡرٗا
3And Allah will grant him provision from (sources) beyond his imagination. And whosoever puts his trust in Allah, Allah will be sufficient for him (to tackle all the difficulties). Allah will accomplish His purpose (what He wills). Indeed, Allah has a fixed measure for everything.
3The reason for descending the verse
Ibn Abbas said,“This verse was revealed about 'Awf ibn Malik al-Ashja'i whose son was imprisoned by the idolaters. He went to the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) and complained to him about his poverty, saying,‘The enemy has imprisoned my son and his mother is very distressed, what do you advise me to do?’ The Prophet (s.a.w) said to him, ‘Be fearful of Allah and be patient. I also command you and your wife to often repeat 'there is no strength or might except by Allah’. So he went home and said to his wife,‘The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) commanded both of us to often repeat 'there is no strength or might except by Allah’. She said,‘How good is that with which he has commanded us!’ And they both started saying it straightaway. It happened that the enemy became distracted from their son and the latter led their sheeps away and fled. He brought these sheeps to his father; they were four thousand heads. This verse was revealed about this incident.” (Al-Wahidi,Reasons of Revelation and As-Suyutiin Lubab)
