Al-Layl 92:2

Surah al-Layl is Meccan, held to belong to the early Meccan period. Declaring that people's strivings are diverse, it contrasts the one who gives and is mindful of God with the one who is miserly and deems himself self-sufficient. Some reports state that the closing verses, praising the one who gives his wealth to purify himself for God's sake, were revealed concerning Abu Bakr, who purchased and freed persecuted slaves.
