Contextual allusions are not limited to battles. Examples include a reference to the Farewell Pilgrimage in al-Mā’idah; the matter of Zaynab’s marriage in al-Aḥzāb; the confidential matter in al-Taḥrīm; the episode of the false accusation in al-Nūr; the jinn hearing the Qur’an in al-Jinn and al-Aḥqāf; the mosque of harm in al-Tawbah; and the Night Journey at the opening of al-Isrāʾ (Banū Isrāʾīl).
These are places where a brief, reliable account of the background can clarify the Qur’anic reference. The interpreter should provide enough history to resolve the allusion while keeping the verse’s actual message central. This completes the first chapter’s treatment of the five sciences and related issues.
