ذِكْرُ السَّبَبِ الَّذِي مِنْ أَجْلِهِ أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ وَعَلَا: {نَحْنُ نَقُصُّ عَلَيْكَ أَحْسَنَ الْقَصَصِ}
[Machine] The Quran was revealed to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and he recited it to them over a period of time. They said, "O Messenger of Allah, if only you would narrate stories to us." So Allah revealed the verse {These are the verses of the clear Book}, until His saying, {We relate to you, O Muhammad, the best of stories}. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited it to them over a period of time. They said, "O Messenger of Allah, if only you would inform us." So Allah revealed the verse {Allah has sent down the best statement: a consistent Book}. They are being commanded with the Quran." Khallad added and further explained it: They said, "O Messenger of Allah, remind us." So Allah revealed the verse {Has the time not come for those who have believed that their hearts should become humbly submissive at the remembrance of Allah}.
أُنْزِلَ الْقُرْآنُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَتَلَا عَلَيْهِمْ زَمَانًا فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَوْ قَصَصْتَ عَلَيْنَا فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ {الر تِلْكَ آيَاتُ الْكِتَابِ الْمُبِينَ} إِلَى قَوْلِهِ {نَحْنُ نَقُصُّ عَلَيْكَ أَحْسَنَ الْقَصَصِ} فَتَلَاهَا عَلَيْهِمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ زَمَانًا فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَوْ حَدَّثْتَنَا فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ {اللَّهُ نَزَّلَ أَحْسَنَ الْحَدِيثِ كِتَابًا مُتَشَابِهًا} الْآيَةَ كُلُّ ذَلِكَ يُؤْمَرُونَ بِالْقُرْآنِ» قَالَ خَلَّادٌ وَزَادَ فِيهِ حِينَ* قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ذَكِّرْنَا فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ {أَلَمْ يَأْنِ لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا أَنْ تَخْشَعَ قُلُوبُهُمْ لِذِكْرِ اللَّهِ}
