Arabic text. Arabic summary and keywords cannot be copied into meta data fields / The importance of this research is evident from the field related to it; namely, that of reports
about circumstances for Qur’anic revelations. Without a comprehensive knowledge of it, many of the
subtleties and nuances of Qur’anic discourse remain concealed from us.
For this purpose, I used al-Suyuti’s "Lubab al-Nuqul fi Asbab al-Nuzul" for the pivotal and
comprehensive role it occupies among works dealing with this discipline. Briefly, my methodology
was the following:
I first presented a summary of the author’s biography. Secondly, I edited the manuscript I had
obtained of this book from the King Faisal Library in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Thirdly, I made
comparisons between this version and numerous printed versions of this book in order to verify the
authenticity of textual information I presented in this
thesis by categorising Prophetic and other reports at the levels of their soundness and weakness so
that the reader may
obtain a firm insight into their status levels. Fourthly, I amended reports that al-Suyuti had
omitted in relation to verses he had cited. Fifthly, I graded different reports on a topic
according to established criteria in this subject; often reconciling them where it was possible. I
interpreted verses in their general purport by indicating that the report/s relating to the
circumstances for revelation was/were already embodied in their signification. I only deviated from
this norm where I found that a body of reliable scholars had given preference to a particular
report vis-à-vis a certain verse; in which case I adopted their opinion. Sixthly, I attached brief
commentaries to relevant verses to enable the reader to gain a more comprehensive grasp of text
within its context. Finally, I defined some peculiar terminology found in this book for the benefit
of unfamiliar researchers. / Religious Studies and Arabic / D. Litt. et Phil. (Islamic Studies)
