What is the interpretation of the noble verse "أَلَمْ نَشْرَحْ لَكَ صَدْرَكَ"?
The interpretation of the verse "Did We not expand for you your breast?" in Ibn Kathir means that Allah illuminated and broadened the Prophet's heart, making it spacious and easy. This is similar to how He expanded his breast for Islam. It could also refer to the expansion of his breast on the night of Al-Isra (the Night Journey).
It is narrated from Ubayy ibn Ka'b that Abu Hurayrah asked the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, about the first sign he witnessed of prophethood. The Prophet then recounted an incident that occurred when he was ten years old in the desert. Two men approached him and split open his chest without causing him any pain. They removed envy and malice from it, then placed compassion and mercy within it, and commanded him to go forth and submit [to God].
