103: Eventide
These 3 Meccan verses were
revealed after Consolation 94 but before Jonah 10 and The Chargers 100, and about the same
time as The Earthquake 99. It offers us a consoling prayer which is recited
frequently since it brings home to us how all things change, and we must learn
patiently to face the inevitable. A final consonant in -r carries the rhyme.
