حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جُنْدُبًا، يَقُولُ أَبْطَأَ جِبْرِيلُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ قَدْ وُدِّعَ مُحَمَّدٌ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ { وَالضُّحَى * وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا سَجَى * مَا وَدَّعَكَ رَبُّكَ وَمَا قَلَى}
Jundub Narrated from:
Gabriel delayed his visit to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) The polytheists began to say that Muhammad has been forsaken. At this Allah, the Glorious and Exalted, revealed: " Wa'dd hd wa'l-laili iza saja, ma wadda'ka Rabbuka wa' ma qala" [By the glorious morning light, and by the night when it is still: thy Lord has not forsaken thee, nor is He displeased].

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 1797a
This Hadith is about reassurance through revelation. Aswad b. Qais heard Jundub say that Jibril delayed his visit to the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم. The polytheists then said Muhammad had been forsaken. In response, Allah revealed the opening of Surah Duha: by the morning light and the still night, your Lord has not forsaken you and is not displeased. People often search for Sahih Muslim 1797a, Surah Duha hadith, Jibril delayed hadith, or your Lord has not forsaken you hadith. The Hadith does not ask us to guess hidden reasons. It simply shows that mockery was answered by revelation, and the answer denied their claim clearly.
What we learn from this hadith
- A delay in Jibril’s visit became a point of mockery for the polytheists.
- Allah answered the false claim through the opening verses of Surah Duha.
- The Hadith teaches that Allah’s reassurance is stronger than people’s taunts.
