The reason for descending the verse

The commentators of the Qur’an said, “Ubayy ibn Khalaf went to the Prophet (s.a.w) with a decayed bone and said to him, ‘O Muhammad, do you think that Allah will bring back to life this decayed bone?’ He said, ‘Yes, He will, and He will also resurrect you and cast you in hellfire’. Allah then revealed these verses.” (Al-Wahidi,Reasons of Revelation)
