O Allah! I seek refuge in You from anxiety and grief, and I seek refuge in You from weakness and laziness, and I seek refuge in You from cowardice and miserliness, and I seek refuge in You from being overwhelmed by debt, and the tyranny of men.

- Also used in al-Wird al-Latif? of Imam Haddad 

Its says when Wahy was stopped for 6 months the holy prophet (peace be upon him) was taunted and mocked it was a difficult time and the remarks of; 'Muhammad's Lord has forsaken-(Abandon)  him, and is displeased with him' soon after Surah Duha-(93) was given as a Solace-(Comfort or consolation in a time of distress or sadness)

Someone was going through a very difficult emotional time over many months. It was due to a the loss of a man she  loved very much. And went into a deep dark depression and found it hard to get out of it. But then one night while  asleep, all night, whenever she  woke up briefly, she said the following words to herself:

93:3 Your Lord has not forsaken you, nor has He become displeased,
93:4 And surely what comes after is better for you than that which has gone before.
93:5 And soon will your Lord give you so that you shall be well pleased.
She did not even realize she was saying these words of Surah Duha  all night, until she  woke up this morning.

All night, whenever her eye opened from sleep, she would say these words to herself -without thinking, they were just there, on her tongue. So she thought how interesting! So she  kept reassuring her self that God has not abandanoned me, He has forgiven me, and He is bringing me something good soon!

That morning, pondering over the meaning of this and the words.she was scared, and that is why she kept saying these words, to reassure myself? So after many months of darkness, Allah is now telling her that the time has come that He will give her an exit to her grief and sadness? Inshallah.

Full Surah Duha -Morning Bright
93:1- I swear by the forenoon,
93:2 - and by the night when it becomes peaceful,
93:3 - your Lord (O Holy Prophet,) has neither forsaken you, nor has become displeased.
93:4 - And the Hereafter is much better for you than the present life.
93:5 - And of course, your Lord will give you so much that you will be pleased.
93:6 - Did He not find you an orphan, and give you shelter?
93:7 - And He found you unaware of the way (the Shari'ah), then He guided you.
93:8 - and He found you in need, then made you need-free.
93:9 - Therefore, as for orphan, do not oppress him,
93:10 -  and as for the beggar, do not scold him. 
93:11 - And about the bounty of your Lord, do talk.

The Shade of Sadaqah: “The believer’s shade on the Day of Resurrection will be his Sadaqah.” (Tirmidhi)  "The generous man is near Allah, near paradise, near men and far from hell, but the miserly man is far from Allah, far from paradise, far from men and near hell. Indeed, an ignorant man who is generous is dearer to Allah than a worshipper who is miserly."(Tirmidhi)
