Mujahid said that «بورا» means those who are destroyed. Mujahid also said that the meaning of «سيماهم في وجوههم‏» is that, because of prostrations, there is softness and beauty on their faces. Mansur narrated from Mujahid that «سيما» means humility and modesty. «اخرج شطأه‏» means he brought forth its ear. «فاستغلظ‏» means then it became thick. «سوق» means the stalk of the tree on which the tree stands, its root. «دائرة السوء‏» is like they say «رجل السوء‏.‏» . «دائرة السوء‏» means punishment. «تعزروه‏» means help him. «شطأه‏» refers to the tendon of the hair. A single grain produces ten or eight or seven ears, and they support each other. «فآزره‏» means this, that is, it was strengthened; if there were only one ear, it could not stand on a single stalk. This is an example Allah, the Exalted, has given for the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ). When he was granted prophethood, he was completely alone, without any helper or supporter. Then Allah, the Pure, gave him strength through his companions, just as a grain is strengthened by its ears.

Narrated Aslam: While Allah's Messenger was proceeding at night during one of his journeys and `Umar bin Al-Khattab was traveling beside him, `Umar asked him about something but Allah's Messenger did not reply. He asked again, but he did not reply, and then he asked (for the third time) but he did not reply. On that, `Umar bin Al-Khattab said to himself, "Thakilat Ummu `Umar (May `Umar's mother lose her son)! I asked Allah's Messenger three times but he did not reply." `Umar then said, "I made my camel run faster and went ahead of the people, and I was afraid that some Qur'anic Verses might be revealed about me. But before getting involved in any other matter. I heard somebody calling me. I said to myself, 'I fear that some Qur'anic Verses have been revealed about me,' and so I went to Allah's Messenger and greeted him. He (Allah's Messenger) said, 'Tonight a Sura has been revealed to me, and it is dearer to me than that on which the sun rises (i.e. the world)' Then he recited: "Verily, We have given you a manifest victory."
