What are the references for the occasions of revelation (Asbab al-Nuzul) that chronologically demonstrate the occasions of revelation?
Many references have addressed the reasons for the revelation of the Qur’an, among the most important of which are: "Al-‘Ujab fi Bayan al-Asbab" by Shihab al-Din Ahmad ibn Ali, "Lubab al-Nuqul fi Asbab al-Nuzul" by Al-Suyuti, "Tanzil al-Qur’an" by Ibn Shihab al-Zuhri, and "Manahil al-‘Irfan fi ‘Ulum al-Qur’an" by Al-Zarqani. It has also been addressed by books of Qur’anic rulings and sciences, such as "Al-Burhan fi ‘Ulum al-Qur’an" by Al-Zarkashi and "Al-Itqan fi ‘Ulum al-Qur’an" by Al-Suyuti. Among the books of rulings that mention the reasons for revelation are: "Ahkam al-Qur’an" by Al-Shafi’i, Al-Jassas, and Ibn al-Arabi, in addition to books on abrogating and abrogated verses, such as those by Qatadah, Ibn al-Jawzi, and Ibn Hazm. These references mention the reason for the revelation, even if they do not specify its date by day and night. Rather, they mention the accompanying incident, which makes it easy to ascertain its date by month and year. Furthermore, books of (exegesis), especially those based on narration like "Tafsir al-Tabari," "Ibn Kathir," and "Al-Qurtubi," are not devoid of mentioning the reasons for revelation.
