حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَوْفٌ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ يَعْنِي الْفَارِسِيَّ قَالَ أَبِيأَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ وحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَوْفٌ عَنْ يَزِيدَ قَالَ قَالَ لَنَا ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍقُلْتُ لِعُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ مَا حَمَلَكُمْ عَلَى

قَالَ لَنَا ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: قُلْتُ لِعُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ: مَا حَمَلَكُمْ عَلَى أَنْ عَمَدْتُمْ إِلَى الْأَنْفَالِ، وَهِيَ مِنَ الْمَثَانِي، وَإِلَى بَرَاءَةٌ وَهِيَ مِنَ الْمِئِينَ فَقَرَنْتُمْ بَيْنَهُمَا، وَلَمْ تَكْتُبُوا قَالَ ابْنُ جَعْفَرٍ: بَيْنَهُمَا سَطْرًا بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ، وَوَضَعْتُمُوهَا فِي السَّبْعِ الطُّوَلِ مَا حَمَلَكُمْ عَلَى ذَلِكَ ؟ قَالَ عُثْمَانُ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ مِمَّا يَأْتِي عَلَيْهِ الزَّمَانُ يَنْزِلُ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ السُّوَرِ ذَوَاتِ الْعَدَدِ، وَكَانَ إِذَا أُنْزِلَ عَلَيْهِ الشَّيْءُ يَدْعُو بَعْضَ مَنْ يَكْتُبُ عِنْدَهُ يَقُولُ: ضَعُوا هَذَا فِي السُّورَةِ الَّتِي يُذْكَرُ فِيهَا كَذَا وَكَذَا وَيُنْزَلُ عَلَيْهِ الْآيَاتُ فَيَقُولُ: ضَعُوا هَذِهِ الْآيَاتِ فِي السُّورَةِ الَّتِي يُذْكَرُ فِيهَا كَذَا وَكَذَا، وَيُنْزَلُ عَلَيْهِ الْآيَةُ فَيَقُولُ: ضَعُوا هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ فِي السُّورَةِ الَّتِي يُذْكَرُ فِيهَا كَذَا وَكَذَا، وَكَانَتِ الْأَنْفَالُ مِنْ أَوَائِلِ مَا أُنْزِلَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ، وَبَرَاءَةٌ مِنْ آخِرِ الْقُرْآنِ، فَكَانَتْ قِصَّتُهَا شَبِيهًا بِقِصَّتِهَا، فَقُبِضَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، وَلَمْ يُبَيِّنْ لَنَا أَنَّهَا مِنْهَا، وَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهَا مِنْهَا، فَمِنْ ثَمَّ قَرَنْتُ بَيْنَهُمَا، وَلَمْ أَكْتُبْ بَيْنَهُمَا سَطْرًا بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ قَالَ ابْنُ جَعْفَرٍ: وَوَضَعْتُهَا فِي السَّبْعِ الطُّوَلِ.

✧ Ibn 'Abbas said to us: I said to 'Uthman b. 'Affan: What made you take al-Anfal, which is one of the mathani, and Bara'ah, which is one of the mi'in, and join them together without writing - Ibn Ja'far said: between them - a line with Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim, and place them among the seven long surahs? What made you do that? 'Uthman said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would, over time, receive surahs of various numbers of verses. When something was revealed to him, he would call one of those who wrote for him and say, 'Place this in the surah in which such-and-such is mentioned.' And verses would be revealed to him, and he would say, 'Place these verses in the surah in which such-and-such is mentioned.' And a verse would be revealed to him, and he would say, 'Place this verse in the surah in which such-and-such is mentioned.' Al-Anfal was among the first [surahs] revealed in Madinah, and Bara'ah was among the last of the Quran, and its story was similar to its story. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed away without clarifying to us that it was part of it, and I thought that it was part of it. For that reason, I joined them together and did not write between them a line with Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim. Ibn Ja'far said: And I placed them among the seven long surahs.
