Commentary
‘So he revealed to his worshipper’: If the subject of revelation is Allāh, the meaning is clear that Allāh revealed to His worshipper whatever he revealed; and if the subject is Jibra’īl then the wording ‘His servant’ is referred to Allāh, i.e. Jibra’īl conveyed to Allāh’s worshipper whatever he conveyed.
