CHAP. CXII.
Intitled,
The declaration of God’s unity
[a]
; where it was revealed is disputed.
In the name of the most merciful God.
[a] This chapter is held in particular veneration by the Mohammedans, and declared, by a tradition of their prophet, to be equal in value to a third part of the whole Korân. It is said to have been revealed in answer to the Koreish, who asked Mohammed concerning the distinguishing attributes of the God he invited them to worship [1] .
