All restrictions contained in the verse apply to the incident,

rather, it suffices that the fundamental ruling contained in it applies.

And sometimes some of the Companions - may Allah be pleased with them - mentioned a question in his presence - may Allah bless him and grant him peace.

Or an incident occurs during the era of the Prophet - may Allah bless him and grant him peace -

and he - may Allah bless him and grant him peace - had deduced its ruling from a verse among the verses

and recited it to them regarding that matter,

so they relate this incident and say, "The verse was revealed concerning such and such."

And sometimes they say upon that, "So Allah - the Most High - revealed the statement of such and such"

or "such and such was revealed."

And if anyone expresses that by the repetition of the revelation of the verse, there is likewise justification for him.

Narrations of the hadith scholars that have no relation to the occasions of revelation:

And the hadith scholars mention in this chapter many things within the Quranic verses that have no relation to the occasions of revelation, such as:

The citing as evidence by the Companions - may Allah be pleased with them - of a verse from the Quranic verses in their debates.

Or their quoting of a verse by way of analogy,

or the recitation by the Prophet - may Allah bless him and grant him peace - of a verse from the verses to cite as evidence for his speech,

or the narration of a hadith that agrees with the verse in the origin of its purpose and its meaning, or in determining the place of its revelation,

or the specifying of the names of those mentioned in it in an ambiguous manner,

or the explanation of the way of pronouncing a Quranic word,

or concerning the virtue of the verses and the surahs,

or the explanation of the method of compliance by the Prophet - may Allah bless him and grant him peace - with a command from the commands of the Noble Quran.
