Pearl of Wisdom

By Allah, if I was set up to judge, I would certainly judge for the people of the Torah with their Torah itself...' He then said, 'Ask me before you lose me. By He who split the seed and originated man, were you to ask me about each and every verse of the Qur'an, I would inform you when the verse was revealed and the reason for its revelation.'
