Quran 4:163~165 (Ayah an-Nisa)
Indeed, We have sent revelation to you ˹O Prophet˺ as We sent revelation to Noah and the prophets after him. We also sent revelation to Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, and his descendants, ˹as well as˺ Jesus, Job, Jonah, Aaron and Solomon. And to David We gave the Psalms (Zabur). There are messengers whose stories We have told you already and others We have not. And to Moses Allah spoke directly. ˹All were˺ messengers delivering good news and warnings so humanity should have no excuse before Allah after ˹the coming of˺ the messengers. And Allah is Almighty, All-Wise. Quran 4:163~165 Surah al-Imran (The Family of Imran)
An-Nisa’ (Arabic: ٱلنساء, An-Nisāʾ; meaning: The Women) is the fourth chapter (sūrah) of the Quran, with 176 verses (āyāt).
The title derives from the numerous references to women throughout the chapter, including verse 34 and verses 127-130

According to many scholars, the Surah was revealed after the Battle of Uhud, which left 70 of the Muslims killed.
This situation brought about the need to address issues such as inheritance left by those killed etc.
Hence in Surah an-Nisa, Allah Almighty address issues such as dealing with orphans [including children of those killed at Uhud] and inheritance.
سورة النِّسَاء اے محمدؐ! ہم نے تمہاری طرف اُسی طرح وحی بھیجی ہے جس طرح نوحؑ اور اس کے بعد کے پیغمبروں کی طرف بھیجی تھی ہم نے ابراہیمؑ، اسماعیلؑ، اسحاقؑ، یعقوبؑ اور اولاد یعقوبؑ، عیسیٰؑ، ایوبؑ، یونسؑ، ہارونؑ اور سلیمانؑ کی طرف وحی بھیجی ہم نے داؤدؑ کو زبور دی ﴿۱۶۳﴾ ہم نے اُن رسولوں پر بھی وحی نازل کی جن کا ذکر ہم اِس سے پہلے تم سے کر چکے ہیں اور اُن رسولوں پر بھی جن کا ذکر تم سے نہیں کیا ہم نے موسیٰؑ سے اِس طرح گفتگو کی جس طرح گفتگو کی جاتی ہے ﴿۱۶۴﴾ یہ سارے رسول خوش خبری دینے والے اور ڈرانے والے بنا کر بھیجے گئے تھے تاکہ اُن کو مبعوث کردینے کے بعد لوگوں کے پاس اللہ کے مقابلہ میں کوئی حجت نہ رہے اور اللہ بہرحال
