English narration
Narrated by عبد الله بن العباس القرشي
I asked Ibn `Abbas about Surat Al-Tauba, and he said, "Surat Al-Tauba? It is exposure (of all the evils of the infidels and the hypocrites). And it continued revealing (that the oft-repeated expression) '...and of them ...and of them.' till they started thinking that none would be left unmentioned therein." I said, "What about) Surat Al-Anfal?" He replied, "Surat Al-Anfal was revealed in connection with the Badr Battle." I said, "(What about) Surat Al-Hashr?" He replied, "It was revealed in connection with Bani an-Nadir."

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحِيمِ ، حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ، حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بِشْرٍ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ لِابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ : "
سُورَةُ التَّوْبَةِ ، قَالَ : التَّوْبَةُ هِيَ الْفَاضِحَةُ مَا زَالَتْ تَنْزِلُ وَمِنْهُمْ وَمِنْهُمْ حَتَّى ظَنُّوا أَنَّهَا لَنْ تُبْقِيَ أَحَدًا مِنْهُمْ إِلَّا ذُكِرَ فِيهَا ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : سُورَةُ الْأَنْفَالِ ، قَالَ : نَزَلَتْ فِي بَدْرٍ ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : سُورَةُ الْحَشْرِ ، قَالَ : نَزَلَتْ فِي بَنِي النَّضِيرِ
