He said: That is the amputee, meaning the Prophet - may God’s prayers and peace be upon him - and Abdullah, the son of the Messenger of God - may God’s prayers and peace be upon him - had died before that, and he was from Khadija, and they called those who had no son: “apter”, so God Almighty revealed this surah.
