What is the context of revelation for this āyah?

الجواب

Imām Ibn al-Jawzī (d. 597/1201) summarized the scholars' opinions in his book "Zād al-Masīr" as follows:

  1. ʿUmar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb said: "O Allah, clarify for us the matter of wine (khamr) definitively." Thereupon, this verse was revealed.
  2. A group of the Anṣār who came to the Prophet ﷺ, and among them were ʿUmar and Muʿādh. They said: "Give us a ruling about wine, for it takes away the mind and leads to the loss of wealth." Then this verse was revealed.
