Also, only the narrations contained in the reason for the revelation of the Qur’anic verse were addressed and studied to determine the extent of its validity, and whether the verse was actually revealed in this event or not, and due to the occurrence of the word orphan in a number of verses (the cow and the women), which was not - the orphan - a reason for its revelation, so it was referred to without mentioning the narrations. The analytical approach was adopted in this study, by analyzing the narrations and criticizing them as support and text to find out the extent of their authenticity.
