It was also said that “the Messenger” means Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, complaining to Allah about his people: “My Lord, indeed my people have taken this Quran as something abandoned.” Allah Most High then consoled him, saying:

“Thus have We made for every prophet an enemy among the criminals. And sufficient is your Lord as a Guide and a Helper. And those who disbelieve say, ‘Why was the Quran not sent down to him all at once?’ Thus [it is] that We may strengthen your heart thereby; and We have recited it distinctly.” (31–32)
