[[ | Some Sunni exegetes of the Qur'an have confirmed that al-It'am Verse was [[revealed]] with respect to [[Ahl al-Bayt (a)]]. [[Allama Amini]] in his book ''[[al-Ghadir]]'', has mentioned 34 Sunni scholars who appealed to [[mutawatir]] [[hadiths]] to the effect that the verse was revealed with respect to Ahl al-Bayt (a) and points to a significant virtue of [[Imam 'Ali (a)]], [[Fatima (a)]], [[Imam al-Hasan (a)]], and [[Imam al-Husayn (a)]]. According to Shi'a scholars, 18 verses of Qur'an 76 (or the whole sura) were revealed with respect to Ahl al-Bayt (a).<ref>Makārim Shīrāzī, ''Barguzīda-yi tafsīr-i nimūna'', vol. 5, p. 350.</ref> | ||

The [[Prophet (s)]] went to visit them together with some of his companions. They told 'Ali: "O Abu l-Hasan! You had better [[nadhr|vow]] for the health of your sons". 'Ali (a), Fatima (a), and [[Fidda]] vowed to fast for three consecutive days if the boys were healed. When they were healed, 'Ali (a) borrowed three "mans" [equal to 18 kilograms] of barley. Fatima (a) ground and baked bread with one-third of the barley. At the time of [[iftar]], a beggar went to their house and said: "O the household of Muhammad (s), I am a poor Muslim person; please give me a food. May God give you heavenly foods." They preferred him to themselves and gave the bread to him, breaking their fast with water. They fasted the next day. When they brought the bread at night, an orphan went to their house. They gave their food to him again. On the third day, a [newly released] prisoner went to their house. Again, they gave their barley food to him. In the morning, 'Ali took the hands of Hasan (a) and Husayn (a), and they went to the Prophet (s). When he saw them, he found that they were shivering from hunger. He said: "I am saddened by seeing you in this condition". He went to their house together with them and saw Fatima (a) while worshiping with her stomach diminished and her eyes hollowed. He was saddened by seeing her. Then [[Jibril]] went down to the Prophet (s) and said: "God congratulates you for having such a household". He then recited the above verse.<ref>Zamakhsharī, ''al-Kashshāf'', vol. 4, p. 670.</ref> | ||
Some exegetes of the Qur'an take the story to have occurred in one day, rather than 3 days. They said that the verse was revealed with respect to 'Ali (a). He did something for a [[Jew]] and received some barley as a wage. He took the barley to his house. They ground one-third of it and made food with it. When they wanted to have the meal, a poor person went to their house, and Ali gave him the food. They then ground another third of the barley and made food with it. When the food was made, an orphan went to their house, and they gave it to him. When they made the last remaining part of the barley, a polytheist prisoner went to them, and they gave the food to him too.<ref>Baghawī, ''Maʿālim al-tanzīl'', vol. 5, p. 191-192.</ref> | Some exegetes of the Qur'an take the story to have occurred in one day, rather than 3 days.
