Asbāb al-nuzūl (أسباب النزول), meaning occasions or circumstances of revelation, refers to the historical context in which Quranic ayaat were revealed. Regarding the timing and contextual background of the revelation (asbāb al-nuzūl), it is an earlier "Meccan surah", which means it is believed to have been revealed in Mecca, instead of later in Medina. Alī ibn Ahmad al-Wāhidī (d. 468/1075), is the earliest scholar of the branch of the Qur'anic sciences known as Asbāb al-Nuzūl. He records that

Umm Hani’ bint Abi Talib who reported that the Prophet, Allah bless him and give him peace, said: “Allah has favoured the Quraysh with seven characteristics which he has never given to anyone before them and will never give to anyone after them:

1) The post of the Caliph (al-Khilafah) is given to one among them,

2) the custody of the Sacred House (al-Hijabah) is assumed by someone from amongst them,

3) giving water to the pilgrims (al-Siqayah) during Hajj is undertaken by someone among them,

4) Prophethood is given to someone among them,

5) they were given victory over the [army of] elephants(Al-Fil),

6) they worshiped Allah for seven years during which none worshiped Him,

7) and a Surah has been revealed about them in which none but them was mentioned (Quraysh (surah))
