Is there a book that contains the agreed-upon reasons for revelation (Asbab al-Nuzul)?
The causes of revelation (Asbab al-Nuzul) are important sciences that aid in understanding the Qur'an. Books have been authored on this topic, discussing the authentic and verified causes of revelation. However, no specific work has exclusively focused on the agreed-upon causes, distinguishing them from those subject to dispute. What exegetes (mufassirun) mention regarding the causes of revelation is by way of example for the generality of the wording, which is referred to by the maxim: "The lesson lies in the generality of the wording, not in the specificity of the cause." The non-explicit cause is a matter of (independent reasoning) in clarifying what the verse applies to.
