The second chapter

In explaining the narrated reports in the exegeses of the Hadith scholars among the exegetes and what relates to them of important matters

Two categories of reasons for revelation

Indeed, among the narrations and reports narrated in the books of exegesis

authored by the scholars of Hadith among the exegetes

what includes an explanation of the reasons for revelation

and the reasons for revelation are divided into two categories

The first is that an event occurs

by which the faith of the believers and the hypocrisy of the hypocrites are tested

as that occurred in the two battles of Uhud and the Confederates

and Allah, the Exalted, sends down what praises the believers and condemns the hypocrites

so that it may be a dividing, distinguishing, and differentiating line between the two groups

and in the course of the Noble Quran's mention of this event

and description of the two groups, there are many allusions to the specifics of the event and its related matters

so it is then inevitable that the story of this event be explained

in a brief manner so that the context of the event and its backgrounds become clear to the reader

The second is that the meaning of the verse be completely independent

by the generality of its wording without any need to know that story

or familiarity with the incident
