The well-known opinion of the scholars (is that it was revealed in) Medina.[^1] The following scholars consider some or even a part of this chapter as being revealed in Medina: Hakim Abul Qasim al-Haskani has narrated from Ibne Abbas in regards to the number of verses which were revealed in Mecca and Medina and has stated that this chapter was revealed in Medina after Suratul Rahman (55) and before Suratul Talaq (65).[^2] The author of al-Aydhhah, Ahmad al-Zahid, also narrates this opinion from Ibne Abbas.

^3 In History of the Qur’an, written by Abu Abdillah al-Zanjani, who has taken his information from Nazmul Durr wa Tanasurul Ayat was Suwar, it is mentioned that a group of prominent scholars of the Ahlus Sunnah have narrated that Suratul Insan is among those chapters which were revealed in Medina.[^4] In al-Fihrist of Ibne Nadim, it has been narrated from Ibne Abbas that chapter Hal Ata is the eleventh chapter revealed in Medina.

^5 In al-Itqan of al-Suyuti, it has been mentioned from al-Bayhaqi as seen in Dalaiilul Nubuwwat from Akramah that the chapter Hal Ata was revealed in Medina.[^6] In Durrul Manthur the same tradition (as mentioned above) has been narrated from Ibne Abbas from a different chain of narrators.

^7 al-Zamakshari, in his work, Tafsirul Kashshaf, has narrated the well-known historical event for which the initial verses of this chapter were revealed as being in regards to the vow taken by (Imam) Ali , his wife and their children.[^8] In addition to the references stated above, many other prominent scholars of the Ahlus Sunnah have also stated that the initial verses of this chapter were revealed in regards to (Imam) Ali , Fatima Zahra , Hasan and Husayn and this proves that this chapter was revealed in Medina, because both Imams Hasan and Husayn were born in Medina.

Other scholars who have stated this belief include: al-Wahidi in his work Asbabul Nuzul; al-Baghwiin Maʿlimul Tanzl; Sibt b. al-Jawzi in his work al-Tadhkirah; Ganji al-Shafi in his work Kifyatul Talib, and others.[^9] This opinion is so well known and acknowledged by the scholars that Muhammad b. Idris al-Shafi, one of the four Imams of the Ahlus Sunnah, composed the following (well-known) poem: الى م الى م و حتى متى أعاتب فى حب هذا الفتى! و هل زوجت فاطم غيره ؟ و فى غيره هل اتى هل اتى ؟!

Till when, till when, and until what time? Shall you rebuke me for loving this chivalrous man? Did Fatima marry any other than him?
