Ibn Abbas (may Allah have mercy on him): Ibn Abbas was asked about the words of Allah the Exalted: وَ وَجَدَکَ عائِلاً [And He found you in need]. He said: "[That is,] you were poor among your people and they used to say you have no wealth, but Allah made you free from want through the wealth of Khadijah (peace be upon her). Then He increased you from His bounty and made your supplication answered, such that if you supplicated over a stone that Allah would make it gold for you, He would certainly transform that very stone into what you desired. He would bring you food where there was no food, and bring you water where there was no water, and He would help you with the angels where there was no helper, and thus with His angels He made you victorious over your enemies."
