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

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.

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