حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ صَالِحِ بْنِ هَانِئٍ ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ ثنا هَوْذَةُ بْنُ خَلِيفَةَ ثنا عَوْفُ بْنُ أَبِي جَمِيلَةَ ثنا يَزِيدُ الْفَارِسِيُّ قَالَ قَالَ لَنَا ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ قُلْتُ لِعُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ مَا حَمَلَكُمْ عَلَى
أَنْ عَمَدْتُمْ إِلَى الْأَنْفَالِ وَهِيَ مِنَ الْمَثَانِي وَإِلَى الْبَرَاءَةِ وَهِيَ مِنَ الْمِئِينَ فَقَرَنْتُمْ بَيْنَهُمَا وَلَمْ تَكْتُبُوا بَيْنَهُمَا سَطْرَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَوَضَعْتُمُوهَا فِي السَّبْعِ الطِّوَالِ مَا حَمَلَكُمْ عَلَى ذَلِكَ؟ فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَأْتِي عَلَيْهِ الزَّمَانُ تَنْزِلُ عَلَيْهِ السُّوَرُ ذَوَاتُ عَدَدٍ فَكَانَ إِذَا نَزَلَ عَلَيْهِ الشَّيْءُ يَدْعُو بَعْضَ مَنْ كَانَ يَكْتُبُهُ فَيَقُولُ «ضَعُوا هَذِهِ فِي السُّورَةِ الَّتِي يُذْكَرُ فِيهَا كَذَا وَكَذَا» وَتَنْزِلُ عَلَيْهِ الْآيَةُ فَيَقُولُ «ضَعُوا هَذِهِ فِي السُّورَةِ الَّتِي يُذْكَرُ فِيهَا كَذَا وَكَذَا» فَكَانَتِ الْأَنْفَالُ مِنْ أَوَائِلِ مَا نَزَلَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ وَبَرَاءَةُ مِنْ آخِرِ الْقُرْآنِ فَكَانَتْ قِصَّتُهَا شَبِيهَةً بِقِصَّتِهَا فَقُبِضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَلَمْ يُبَيِّنْ لَنَا أَنَّهَا مِنْهَا فَمِنْ ثَمَّ قَرَنْتُ بَيْنَهُمَا وَلَمْ أَكْتُبْ بَيْنَهُمَا سَطْرَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ

✧ That you took al-Anfāl, which is one of the Mathānī, and al-Barā'ah, which is one of the Mi'īn, and you joined them together, and you did not write between them the line 'Bismillāh al-Raḥmān al-Raḥīm', and you placed them among the seven long surahs. What led you to do that? ʿUthmān said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to go through times when surahs of numerous verses were revealed to him, and when something was revealed to him, he would call one of those who used to write for him and say, "Put this in the surah in which such-and-such is mentioned." And a verse would be revealed to him and he would say, "Put this in the surah in which such-and-such is mentioned." Al-Anfāl was among the first of what was revealed in Madinah, and Barā'ah was among the last of the Qur'an, and its story was similar to its story. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed away without clarifying to us that it was part of it. For that reason, I joined them together and did not write between them the line 'Bismillāh al-Raḥmān al-Raḥīm'.
