أَلَمْ يَجِدْكَ يَتِيمًا فَآوَىٰ (6)
(93:6) Did He not find you an orphan and then gave you shelter? *6
*6) That is, "There can be no question of forsaking you and being displeased with you; We have, in fact, been good to you ever sinCe the time you were born an orphan." The Holy Prophet's father passed away three months before his birth; thus he was an orphan at birth. But Allah did not leave him without support even for a day. Up to six years of age his mother nourished and looked after him. After her death, his grandfather took him and brought him up with great love. He would proudly tell the people; "My this son has a great future.' When he also died, his uncle, Abu Talib, became his guardian and treated him with such rare love that one father could treat his son better. So much so that when after his proclamation to be a Prophet the entire nation turned hostile, Abu Talib alone stood firm as his chief supporter for as long as tea years.
