^3 Abu 'Abdullah Zanjani...

^3 Abu 'Abdullah Zanjani, in his book Tarikh‑i‑Qur'an[^4] that a group of scholars have considered this Surah among the Medinan ones.[^5] From the same source[^6], is quoted from Ibn‑Abbas that this Surah is considered the eleventh Medinan Surah. ^7 Suyuti, in his book 'Itqan' has quoted from Dalayl‑al‑Nabowwa by Beyhaqi, who has in turn quoted from 'Akrama that: "Surah al-Insan was revealed in Medina". [^8] In Durr al‑manthur, the same comment from Ibn‑Abbas is quoted in different forms.

^9 Tafsir-i Kashshaf, a commentary, is where Zamakhshari has pointed out that the occasion of revelation, in the beginning verses, was about the vows taken by Ali, Fatima, Hassan and Hosain (as).[^10] There are still many other scholars, besides the aforementioned ones, who say that the beginning verses are about Ali, Fatima, Hassan and Hosain (as).[^11] This verifies that the Surah has been revealed in Medina (since we know that Hassan and Hosain (as) were born in Medina).

Among these scholars' books we can mention the master Vahidi's 'Asbab al‑Noz‑ul', Baqavi's 'Ma'alim‑at‑Tanzil', Sebt Ibn‑Jouzi's “Tathkirah", Ganji Shafi'i's 'Kifayat‑at‑Talib' and so on. This verification is so reputable and well known that Muhammad Ibn‑Idris Shafii has referred to it in his poem: "How long, how long. up until when, Will you reproach me my love For this. gentle man? Was not Fatima married but only to him?

And was not Hal‑ata revealed About only but him?" There are many other evidences supporting these views some of which, will be pointed out later, when the occasion of revelation of the verses is discussed. In spite of these facts, some enthusiasts still insist on counting the Surah among Meccan ones and reject all the narration’s about the revelation of the Surah being revealed in Medina as well as the revelation of this Surah being about Ali, Fatima, Hassan and Hosain (as).
