9.Reason for its Revelation:
The leaders of Quraish came to the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم and said if you have by illness we will have it treated, if you desire worldly pleasures, we will provide all the means or it. If nothing else is desired then please reffrain from talking ill of our idols and we too will stop raising objections against you.In response to it, this verse was revealed (Tafseer Azizi).
