OCCASION OF REVELATION (VERSE NO. 113)

      Some commentators have narrated from IBN-ABBAS that: ``When a Christian mission from NAJRAN, visited the prophet; some of the Jewish rabbis were also present there, and both party were engaged in a hot dispute with each other, in the presence of Holy Apostle!''

      One of the Jews whose name was RAFEA-IBN-HARMALEH, said to the Christians: ``Your religion stands on no foundation, and in the matter of God stands on nothing. He denied and rejected the revelation of the New Tastament, and also the prophethood of Jesus Christ.''

      A man also from among the Christian group, got up and said the same things to the Jews; and to this effect the verse NO. 113 revealed.

THE CONFLICT DUE TO MONOPOLISM

      In the preceding verse, we read some of the vain, and hollow claims of the Jews, which were not supported by any proof or reason. In fact when unreasonable claims put a leg forward, monopolism appears, and the final consequence of that, shall be conflict and clashes of divergence of opinions.

      ``The Jews said that the Christians stand on nothing; and the Christians passed the same word to the Jews that they stand not on anything. Yet both parties recite the Scripture. So said the pagan Arabs, and the ignorants like their saying.''

      This was indeed a proof of their ignorance that both of the parties studied the same scripture or at least a similar book, but all of them refused to tolerate each other's divergence of ideas and opinions: Therefore God will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection in what they differ.
