This verse is an evidence that even the prophet, cannot do anything without the will, the help, and protection of God. The apostle too, seeks God's Mercy and is entirely dependent on Allah his only Lord. He looks for God's Mercy and Salvation in the life to come, because in his sight, the Hereafter is more real, and promises the fulfilment of all desires. He knows that all happiness and afflication come from the power and wisdom of God.
VERSE NO. 16
