Question:
The believers mentioned, may Allah have mercy on him, in his commentary, regarding the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Al-Qasas 28:56] Have you been guided to the fact that there are other reasons for this verse? Can you clarify them for us?
Answer:
Yes, in the story of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) asking to seek forgiveness for his mother, this meaning was revealed:[At-Tawbah 9:113] regarding the rows. It is narrated that it was revealed concerning people who sought forgiveness from their graves, so Allah revealed this verse. It is also narrated that it was revealed regarding the story of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) with his uncle Abu Talib. The answer is that there is no impediment to a verse being revealed for multiple reasons; it was revealed for all these reasons. Allah knows best. According to the scholars, it is permissible for a single verse to have multiple occasions of revelation.
