Imam Ali (AS) said, Ask me before you lose me, for by Allah, there is no verse in the Quran but that I know about whom it was revealed and where it was revealed, in the plains or on the mountains, and indeed my Lord has gifted me with an intelligent heart and an eloquent tongue.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : سَلُوني قَبْلَ أنْ تَفْقِدُوني فَوَ اللّهِ ما في القُرآنِ آيَةٌ إلاّ وَ أنَا أعْلَمُ فِيمَنْ نَزَلَتْ وَ أيْنَ نَزَلَتْ في سَهْل أوْ في جَبَل وَ إنَّ رَبِّي وَهَبَ لِي قَلْباً عَقُولاً وَلِساناً ناطِقاً
