The Jews asked the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وآله saying: Relate for us the geneology of your Lord. So he (the prophet) remained three days not answering them, then it was revealed this chapter (Surat Tawhid) to its end. I (Muhammad) said: What is the meaning of Samad? He said: The one who does not have cavity.
