حَقِيقَةُ

Reality

أَسْبَابِ

of the causes

النُّزُولِ:

of revelation:

Reality of the causes of revelation:

وَقَدْ

And indeed

رَبَطَ

have linked

عَامَّةُ

most

الْمُفَسِّرِينَ

of the exegetes

And indeed most exegetes have linked every verse of rulings and disputes to a story narrated regarding the reason for its revelation.

كُلَّ

every

آيَةٍ

verse

مِنْ

from

آيَاتِ

verses

الْأَحْكَامِ

of rulings

every verse from the verses of rulings

وَآيَاتِ

and verses

الْمُخَاصَمَةِ

of disputes

بِقِصَّةٍ

to a story

تُرْوَى

narrated

فِي

in

سَبَبِ

reason

نُزُولِهَا،

for its revelation,

and verses of disputes to a story narrated in the reason for its revelation,

وَظَنُّوا

and they thought

أَنَّهَا

that it

هِيَ

is

سَبَبُ

the reason

النُّزُولِ،

for revelation,

and they thought that it is the reason for revelation,

وَالْحَقُّ

and the truth

أَنَّ

is that

نُزُولَ

revelation

الْقُرْآنِ

of the Quran

الْكَرِيمِ

Noble

and the truth is that the revelation of the Noble Quran

إِنَّمَا

was only

كَانَ

for

لِتَهْذِيبِ

refining

النُّفُوسِ

the souls

الْإِنْسَانِيَّةِ،

human,

was only for refining human souls,

وَإِزَالَةِ

and removing

الْعَقَائِدِ

beliefs

الْبَاطِلَةِ،

false,

وَالْأَعْمَالِ

and deeds

الْفَاسِدَةِ.

corrupt.

and removing false beliefs, and corrupt deeds.

فَالسَّبَبُ

So the reason

الْحَقِيقِيُّ

true

- إِذْنَ -

- then -

فِي

in

نُزُولِ

revelation of

آيَاتِ

verses

الْمُخَاصَمَةِ

of disputes

So the true reason - then - for the revelation of the verses of disputes

هُوَ

is

وُجُودُ

the presence

الْعَقَائِدِ

of beliefs

الْبَاطِلَةِ

false

فِي

in

نُفُوسِ

souls

الْمُخَاطَبِينَ.

of those addressed.

is the presence of false beliefs in the souls of those addressed.

وَسَبَبُ

And the reason

نُزُولِ

for revelation of

آيَاتِ

verses

الْأَحْكَامِ

of rulings

And the reason for the revelation of the verses of rulings

إِنَّمَا

is only

هُوَ

the

شُيُوعُ

spread

الْمَظَالِمِ

of injustices

وَوُجُودُ

and presence

الْأَعْمَالِ

of deeds

الْفَاسِدَةِ

corrupt

فِيهِمْ.

among them.

is only the spread of injustices and the presence of corrupt deeds among them.

وَسَبَبُ

And the reason

نُزُولِ

for revelation of

آيَاتِ

verses

التَّذْكِيرِ

of reminder

And the reason for the revelation of the verses of reminder

(بِآلَاءِ

(of the favors

اللَّهِ

of Allah

وَأَيَّامِهِ

and His days

وَبِالْمَوْتِ)

and with death)

(of Allah's favors, His days, and death)

إِنَّمَا

is only

هُوَ

the

عَدَمُ

lack

تَيَقُّظِهِمْ

of their wakefulness

وَتَنَبُّهِهِمْ

and their awareness

is only their lack of wakefulness and awareness

بِمَا

of what

يَرَوْنَ

they see

وَيَمُرُّونَ

and pass by

عَلَيْهِ

of

مِنْ

from

آلَاءِ

favors

اللَّهِ

of Allah

وَأَيَّامِهِ،

and His days,

of what they see and pass by of Allah's favors and His days,

وَحَوَادِثِ

and events

الْمَوْتِ،

of death,

وَمَا

and what

سَيَكُونُ

will be

بَعْدَهُ

after it

مِنْ

of

وَقَائِعَ

events

هَائِلَةٍ.

tremendous.

and events of death, and what will be after it of tremendous events.

أَمَّا

As for

الْأَسْبَابُ

the causes

الْخَاصَّةُ

specific

وَالْقِصَصُ

and the stories

الْجُزْئِيَّةُ

partial

As for the specific causes and partial stories

الَّتِي

which

تَجَشَّمَ

took the trouble

بَيَانَهَا

to explain them

الْمُفَسِّرُونَ

the exegetes

which the exegetes took the trouble to explain

فَلَيْسَ

it has

لَهَا

for it

دَخْلٌ

any role

فِي

in

ذَلِكَ

that

إِلَّا

except

فِي

in

بَعْضِ

some

الْآيَاتِ

verses

الْكَرِيمَةِ،

noble,

they have no role in that except in some noble verses,

الَّتِي

which

تَشْتَمِلُ

include

عَلَى

an

تَعْرِيضٍ

allusion

بِحَادِثٍ

to an event

after

هَذَا

this

التَّعْرِيضِ

allusion

such that the reader falls after this allusion

فِي

into

تَرَقُّبٍ

anticipation

وَانْتِظَارٍ

and waiting

لِمَا

for what

كَانَ

was

وَرَاءَهُ

behind it

into anticipation and waiting for what was behind it

مِنْ

of

قِصَّةٍ

or

سَبَبٍ،

reason,

of a story, event, or reason,

وَلَا

and not

يَزَالُ

ceases

تَرَقُّبُهُ

his anticipation

إِلَّا

except

بَسْطُ

the elaboration

الْقِصَّةِ

of the story

وَبَيَانُ

and explanation

of the reason

النُّزُولِ.

for revelation.

and his anticipation ceases only with the elaboration of the story and the explanation of the reason for revelation.

لِأَجْلِ

For

ذَلِكَ

that

يَلْزَمُنَا

it is necessary for us

أَنْ

to

نَشْرَحَ

explain

هَذِهِ

these

الْعُلُومَ

sciences

For that reason, it is necessary for us to explain these sciences

بِطَرِيقَةٍ

in a way

partial.

in a way that does not require us to bring forth partial stories.
