The Best Books on the Occasions of Revelation

Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: What are the best books that you, Your Eminence, recommend regarding the occasions of revelation and the grammar and eloquence of the Qur'an?

Answer:
Regarding the occasions of revelation, there are works on the subject, including *Asbab al-Nuzul* by al-Wahid, which is a famous, published, and widely circulated book. There are other books on the subject as well. The occasions of revelation are also scattered throughout the books of the exegetes, who mention the occasion of revelation along with the interpretation of the verse. These are the books on the occasions of revelation; they are found in the books of tafsir and also exist as standalone works. I have mentioned one of the standalone works on the occasions of revelation to you.
As for the grammar of the Qur'an from the perspective of syntax, this is found in al-Akbari’s book, *Imla' ma man bihi al-Rahman fi i'rab al-Qur'an*. It is a standalone work on grammar, and grammar is also found within the tafsirs, as the exegetes parse the verses and explain their grammar. As for eloquence, the eloquence of the Qur'an is also found in the tafsirs, specifically in the tafsirs of the later scholars who pay attention to eloquence, such as al-Zamakhshari, who pays attention to the eloquence of the Qur'an, such as in *al-Bahr al-Muhit*. Yes.
