quran:20:2 –

We have not sent down to you the Qur'an that you be distressed

We have not revealed the Qur’ān to you, O Muhammad (s), that you should be miserable, that you should toil because of what you used to do after it was revealed ˹to you˺, in the way of long vigils performing night prayers; in other words, so unburden your soul;

القرآن:٢٠:٢ –

مَا أَنْزَلْنَا عَلَيْكَ الْقُرْآنَ لِتَشْقَىٰ

{ما أنزلنا عليك القرآن} يا محمد {لتشقى} لتتعب بما فعلت بعد نزوله من طول قيامك بصلاة الليل أي خفف عن نفسك.

quran:76:23 –

Indeed, it is We who have sent down to you, ˹O Muhammad˺, the Qur'an progressively.

Assuredly We (nahnu reiterates the subject of innā, ‘assuredly, for the purpose of emphasis; alternatively it is a separating pronoun) have revealed the Qur’ān to you as a gradual revelation (tanzīlan is the predicate of inna, ‘assuredly’), in other words, We have divided it into parts instead of not revealing it all at once.

القرآن:٧٦:٢٣ –

إِنَّا نَحْنُ نَزَّلْنَا عَلَيْكَ الْقُرْآنَ تَنْزِيلًا

{إنا نحن} تأكيد لاسم إن أو فصل {نزلنا عليك القرآن تنزيلا} خبر إن أي فصلناه ولم ننزله جملة واحدة.
