In the contemporary period, first Westerners and then Islamic scholars have studied the Qur'an by various criteria. One of the verses that has always been the subject of much controversy on the date of its revelation is verses 196 to 203 of Surah Al-Baqarah, which are about the legislation of islamic ritual of Hajj and the correction of some innovative additions performed by the polytheists before Islam, in Hajj and Umrah. The commentators have considered different years for the revelation of this item, which includes the sixth to tenth years; Meanwhile, there is no doubt about the revelation of Surah Al-Baqarah in the first two years of the prophet's emigration to Medina. But the results of this study which is descriptive analytical and according to the interpretive and historical sources  - indicate that the year of revelation of this item can be the second year of AH and simultaneously with the revelation of other verses of Surah Baqara.
