أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو خَلِيفَةَ حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ الْهَيْثَمِ الْمُؤَذِّنُ حَدَّثَنَا عَوْفُ بْنُ أَبِي جَمِيلَةَ عَنْ يَزِيدَ الْفَارِسِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ

قُلْتُ لِعُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ مَا حَمَلَكُمْ عَلَى أَنْ قَرَنْتُمْ بَيْنَ الْأَنْفَالِ وَبَرَاءَةَ وَبَرَاءَةُ مِنَ الْمِئِينَ وَالْأَنْفَالُ مِنَ الْمَثَانِي فَقَرَنْتُمْ بَيْنَهُمَا؟ فَقَالَ عُثْمَانُ كَانَ إِذَا نَزَلَتْ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ الْآيَةُ دَعَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بَعْضَ مَنْ يَكْتُبُ فَيَقُولُ لَهُ ضَعْهُ فِي السُّورَةِ الَّتِي يُذْكَرُ فِيهَا كَذَا وَأُنْزِلَتِ الْأَنْفَالُ بِالْمَدِينَةِ وَبَرَاءَةُ بِالْمَدِينَةِ مِنْ آخِرِ الْقُرْآنِ فَتُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَلَمْ يُخْبِرْنَا أَيْنَ نَضَعُهَا فَوَجَدْتُ قِصَّتَهَا شَبِيهًا بِقِصَّةِ الْأَنْفَالِ فَقَرَنْتُ بَيْنَهُمَا وَلَمْ نَكْتُبْ بَيْنَهُمَا سَطْرَ «بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ» فَوَضَعْتُهَا فِي السَّبْعِ الطُّوَلِ

✧ I said to 'Uthman b. 'Affan, "What led you to put al-Anfal and Bara'ah together, when Bara'ah is among the mi'in and al-Anfal is among the mathani, and you joined them?" 'Uthman said, "When a verse of the Qur'an was revealed, the Prophet ﷺ would call one of the scribes and say to him, 'Put it in the surah in which such-and-such is mentioned.' Al-Anfal was revealed in Madinah, and Bara'ah was revealed in Madinah, being among the last of the Qur'an. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ died without telling us where to put it, but I found its story similar to the story of al-Anfal, so I joined them together, and we did not write between them the line 'Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim.' I placed it among the seven long surahs."
