The specific reason Asbab An-Nazul ٍٝيُ٘ا ةبجٍأ<br />

The specific reason and circumstances for the revelation <strong>of</strong><br />

various verses <strong>of</strong> the Holy Qur'an. For example: Surat at-<br />

Taubah, Ayat 79-80 (the story <strong>of</strong> Abu 'Aqeel). In 9AH the<br />

Prophet Muhammad, may Allah bless him and grant him<br />

peace, asked for contributions to finance his Tabuk expedition.<br />

Being very poor, but still yearning to contribute, Abu 'Aqeel<br />

decided to <strong>of</strong>fer his services, which lasted from dusk till dawn.<br />

He received only two handfuls <strong>of</strong> barley in payment. He took<br />

the entire payment and presented it to Muhammad, may Allah<br />

bless him and grant him peace. A group <strong>of</strong> Munafiqeen<br />

(hypocrites) saw this and started to deride Abu 'Aqeel by<br />

saying, "Look at Abu 'Aqeel, does he think that Allah is in<br />

need <strong>of</strong> such a pathetic donation?" Allah Ta'ala became so<br />

angry with them that He immediately sent down the Holy Spirit<br />

Jibreel (The Angel Gabriel), peace be on him, to reveal Surah<br />

9: 79-80 to Prophet Muhammad, may Allah bless him and<br />

grant him peace.<br />
