45: Crouching
This chapter was revealed after
the previous one called Smoke 44 and before the
next one, The Dunes 46, thus continuing
the sequence. It contains four sections
of 37 late Meccan verses, except for V. 14 which dates from the Madinese
period.
The title is to be found in V.28 (IV). There is much moral teaching in
this chapter,
especially in section II.
