OCCASION OF REVELATION. (VERSE NO. 105 & 106)

      The chain mail of a Helper was stolen in a battle- field. A nominal Muslim, named Ta'ima from the tribe of BANIABRIGH, who was given to all sorts of evil deeds was accused of the theft, and he had indeed stolen the armour. The case was referred to the prophet for judgement. When Ta'ime felt the danger of infamy and public disgrace; he planted the stolen armour into the house of a Jew, where it was found by Ta'ima's hint. The Jew denied the charge, but due to the testimony and open attestation of some of the elders, the real thief was acquitted of the theft, and the poor guiltless Jew was accused and condemned! After that the above verse came down and disclosed the truth, so that the Jew was acquitted according to the principles of justice guided by Allah, and the real thief was condemned.
