Regarding the timing and contextual background of the supposed revelation (asbāb al-nuzūl), it is an earlier "Meccan / Makki surah", which means it is believed to have been revealed in Makkah, instead of later in Madina.

The Holy Prophet (S) said that the one who recites this Surah will be from among those people on whom the angels send salutations and pray for their forgiveness.

If you knew the reward for this, you would never have felt tired of reciting it.’ The angels will then be ordered to take him to Jannah where he will find a palace made of red rubies. There will be two huries and a thousand slaves in that palace.
