that the Prophet ﷺ said, "I asked Allah a question that I would have liked that I had not asked Him. I mentioned the Prophets of my Lord and I said: O my Lord, You subdued the wind for Sulaymān (Solmon), and You spoke to Mūsá (Moses). Then Allah ﷻ said, 'Did I not find you an orphan and I gave you refuge? And lost and I guided you? And poor and made you self-sufficient?'" He said: "I said: Yes. I would have liked that I had not asked."  

الحاكم:٣٩٤٤ – حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْفَضْلِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْمُزَكِّي إِمْلَاءً ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ثنا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْجَرَّاحِ ثنا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ اللَّهَ مَسْأَلَةً وَدِدْتُ أَنِّي لَمْ أَكُنْ سَأَلْتُهُ ذَكَرْتُ رُسُلَ رَبِّي فَقُلْتُ يَا رَبِّ سَخَّرْتَ لِسُلَيْمَانَ الرِّيحَ وَكَلَّمْتَ مُوسَى فَقَالَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى أَلَمْ أَجِدْكَ يَتِيمًا فَآوَيْتُكَ وَضَالًّا فَهَدَيْتُكَ وَعَائِلًا فَأَغْنَيْتُكَ؟ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ فَوَدِدْتُ أَنْ لَمْ أَسْأَلْهُ

quran:93:6 –

Did He not find you an orphan and give ˹you˺ refuge?  

Did He not find you an orphan (an interrogative meant as an affirmative, in other words, He did ˹indeed˺ find you ˹an orphan˺), having lost your father before you were born or ˹shortly˺ thereafter, and shelter you?, by having your uncle Abū Tālib embrace you ˹as part of his household˺.
القرآن:٩٣:٦ –

أَلَمْ يَجِدْكَ يَتِيمًا فَآوَىٰ  

{ألم يجدك} استفهام تقرير أي وجدك {يتيما} بفقد أبيك قبل ولادتك أو بعدها {فآوى} بأن ضمك إلى عمك أبي طالب.
quran:93:7 –

And He found you lost and guided ˹you˺,  

And did He not find you erring, from the ˹revealed˺ Law which you ˹now˺ follow, and guided you?, that is, and then guided you to it.
القرآن:٩٣:٧ –

وَوَجَدَكَ ضَالًّا فَهَدَىٰ  

{ووجدك ضالا} عما أنت عليه من الشريعة {فهدى} أي هداك إليها.
quran:93:8 –

And He found you poor and made ˹you˺ self-sufficient.  

And did He not find you needy, poor, and enrich you?, ˹and˺ made you content with the spoils and other things which He gave you — in a hadīth ˹it is stated˺, ‘Wealth comes not from the proliferation of transient ˹worldly˺ goods, but wealth comes from the contentedness of the soul’.
القرآن:٩٣:٨ –

وَوَجَدَكَ عَائِلًا فَأَغْنَىٰ  

(ووجدك عائلا) فقيرا (فأغنى) أغناك بما قنعك به من الغنيمة وغيرها وفي الحديث: "" ليس الغني عن كثرة العرض ولكن الغني غني النفس "".

the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I asked my Lord a question that I would have liked that I had not asked Him. I said, O my Lord, there were Prophets before me: Prophets among them for whom You had subdued the winds, and among them who would raise the dead. He said: 'Did I not find you an orphan and I gave you refuge? And lost and I guided you? And poor and made you self-sufficient? Did I not expand your breast and removed from you your burden?'" He said, "I said: Of course, my Lord."  

Both their statements were the same.
