Hadith 16 of Imam an-Nawawi's collection records a man asking the Prophet (SAW) for advice. The Prophet (SAW) replied, 'Do not become angry,' repeating it several times. This emphasizes that controlling one's temper is a fundamental aspect of good character and spiritual strength.

In Surah at-Tin (95:3), Allah swears by 'wa hadhal-baladil-amin,' which translates to 'and [by] this city of security.' Scholars unanimously agree that this refers to the sacred city of Makkah.

Tahajjud is a voluntary night prayer performed after the Isha prayer and before the start of the Fajr (dawn) prayer. It is best performed in the last third of the night after waking up from sleep.

Surahs an-Nas, al-Kafirun, and al-Falaq all begin with the divine command 'Qul' (Say). Surah ad-Duha, however, begins with an oath, 'Wad-duha' (By the morning brightness), and does not start with a direct imperative command.

A Juz' is typically divided into two 'Hizb'. Each Hizb is further divided into quarters ('Rub''), halves ('Nisf'), and three-quarters. A 'Manzil' is a different division entirely, where the whole Qur'an is divided into seven parts for weekly recitation.

The phrase 'La Taghdab' literally translates from Arabic as 'Do not get angry.' It was the core piece of advice given by the Prophet (SAW) in the 16th Hadith of an-Nawawi's collection.

Surah at-Tin (Chapter 95) begins with four consecutive oaths: (1) By the Fig, (2) By the Olive, (3) By Mount Sinai, and (4) By this city of security (Makkah).

Imam an-Nasai, the author of one of the six major Hadith collections, was born in the city of Nasa in the province of Khurasan. He spent much of his life traveling across the Islamic world, including Egypt and Syria, but Khurasan is his place of origin.

In Islamic family law, the 'Nafaqah' (maintenance) is the sole responsibility of the husband. This includes the provision of food, clothing, and shelter for his wife and children, regardless of the wife's own wealth.

The final verse of Surah at-Tin (95:8) asks rhetorically: 'Alaysal-Lahu bi-ahkamil-hakimin?' which translates to 'Is not Allah the most just of judges?' This emphasizes Allah's role as the Ultimate Judge.
