Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Does this surah have a specific reason for its revelation?
Answer:
I know nothing of that, except that Ibn Abi used to come to the gathering of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) with his followers and those like him, saying to him, "We bear witness that you are the Messenger of Allah." Allah intended to lie about them.
