Commentary
An oppressed person is a creature with a broken heart, and the supplication he makes to Allāh rises from the bottom of his heart in a tone of utter helplessness and humility. And a supplication made in humility by a helpless person with a broken heart, finds its way to Allāh’s mercy, and is readily answered.
