حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ كَامِلٍ الْقَاضِي ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ الْعَوْفِيُّ ثنا رَوْحُ بْنُ عُبَادَةَ ثنا عَوْفُ بْنُ أَبِي جَمِيلَةَ عَنْ يَزِيدَ الْفَارِسِيِّ قَالَ ثنا ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ

قُلْتُ لِعُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ مَا حَمَلَكُمْ عَلَى أَنْ عَمَدْتُمْ إِلَى الْأَنْفَالِ وَهِيَ مِنَ الْمَثَانِي وَإِلَى بَرَاءَةَ وَهِيَ مِنَ الْمِئِينَ فَقَرَنْتُمْ بَيْنَهُمَا وَلَمْ تَكْتُبُوا بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَوَضَعْتُمُوهَا فِي السَّبْعِ الطِّوَالِ فَمَا حَمَلَكُمْ عَلَى ذَلِكَ؟ فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِمَّا يَأْتِي عَلَيْهِ الزَّمَانُ وَهُوَ يَنْزِلُ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ السُّوَرِ ذَوَاتِ الْعَدَدِ قَالَ وَكَانَ إِذَا نَزَلَ عَلَيْهِ الشَّيْءُ دَعَا بَعْضَ مَنْ يَكْتُبُ لَهُ فَيَقُولُ «ضَعُوا هَذِهِ فِي السُّورَةِ الَّتِي فِيهَا كَذَا وَكَذَا» وَكَانَتِ الْأَنْفَالُ مِنْ أَوَائِلِ مَا نَزَلَتْ بِالْمَدِينَةِ وَكَانَتْ بَرَاءَةُ مِنْ آخِرِ الْقُرْآنِ وَكَانَتْ قِصَّتُهَا شَبِيهَةً بِقِصَّتِهَا فَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهَا مِنْهَا فَقُبِضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَلَمْ يُبَيِّنْ لَنَا أَنَّهَا مِنْهَا فَلَمْ أَكْتُبْ بَيْنَهُمَا سَطْرَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ

✧ I said to Uthman b. Affan: 'What prompted you to take Al-Anfal, which is among the Mathani, and Bara'ah, which is among the Mi'in, and join them together without writing Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim, and place them among the seven long surahs? What prompted you to do that?' Uthman said: 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to have periods when surahs of multiple verses were revealed to him. When something was revealed, he would call one of his scribes and say: "Place these in the surah that contains such and such." Al-Anfal was among the first to be revealed in Madinah, and Bara'ah was among the last of the Quran, and its story was similar to its story, so I thought it was part of it. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed away without clarifying to us that it was part of it, so I did not write Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim between them.'
