What is the name of the Surah in which the verse (Indeed, Allah does not forgive association with Him) is found, and what was the reason for its revelation?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The verse: (Indeed, Allah does not forgive association with Him, but He forgives what is less than that for whom He wills) is repeated twice in Surah An-Nisa (verses 48 and 116). The reason for its revelation, as stated by Al-Qurtubi, is that a man asked the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, about shirk (polytheism) after he recited the verse "Indeed, Allah forgives all sins," whereupon this verse was revealed.
