(2: 207)1. Very frequent and numerous traditions in the reliable Shia and Sunni collections of traditions attribute the cause of descend of this verse to the dignity and value of the act of Amirul- Momenin, when he slept in the bed of the holy Prophet, in order to prevent the murder plan of the Mecca disbelieving groups and tribes.2. Those traditions that attribute the descend of the said verse to other companions of the holy Prophet such as AbuZarr and Sohaib.The writer brings some of the traditions from both groups Then she attends the traditions of the second groups, and shows that the text and,documentation- quotation- of those tradition are false and changed.At last, she coucludes that those traditions have been fabricated by the disbelievers, in order to neglect and undervalue the qualities and preferences of the members of the holy family of the Prophet, especially the unique preferences of Amirul Momenin Ali (p.b.u.h)
