Asbāb al-nuzūl, is an Arabic term meaning “occasions/circumstances of revelation”, is a a secondary type of tafsir directed at establishing the context in which specific verses of the Qur’ān were revealed.
Knowledge about the asbab al-nuzul helps one to understand the circumstances in which a particular revelation occurred, which sheds light on its implications and gives guidance to the explanation (tafsir) and application of the ayah in question for other situations
Abu al-Hassan Ali ibn Ahmad al-Wahidi an-Naisaburi (d. 468/1075), was a renowned classical scholar in this field
‘The knowledge about Tafsir of the ayah is not possible without occupying oneself with their stories and explanation of (the reasons) for their revelation’ [Asbab al-Nuzul, by al-Wahidi al-Nisaburi. Cairo, 1968, p 4].
