Transliteration:( Wa maa li ahadin 'indahoo min ni'matin tujzaaa )
18. Reason for its Revelation:
Some infidels of Makkah had said that perhaps Hazrat Bilal or Umayyah bin Khalf were indebted to Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddique in some ways, in exchange for which he had freed Hazrat Bilal by paying such a large sum of money. To refute their claim this verse was revealed in which it is being said that there is no obligation of any of you or Hazrat Bilal on Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddique. This does not mean that he is not obligated to Allah Almighty or the about which there is a hint, and it is that which is denoted here.
From it, emerge a few issues:
1. To decrease the virtues of the pious is the way of the infidels.
2. Describing their greatness after removing all taunting remarks about them is the way of Allah Almighty .
3. By giving an expense in the path of Allah Almighty is no loss, but profit of the highest order.
