أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أَخْبَرَنا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْقَاضِي، حدثنا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ، حدثنا آدَمُ، حدثنا وَرْقَاءُ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجِيحٍ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ،
فِي قَوْلِهِ: {سَبْعًا مِنَ الْمَثَانِي} [الحجر: 87] قَالَ: " هِيَ السَّبْعُ الطِّوَالُ الْأُوَلُ وَالْقُرْآنُ الْعَظِيمُ " قَالَ: " هُوَ سَائِرُ الْقُرْآنِ " " كَذَا قَالُوا، وَمَنْ ذَهَبَ إِلَى أَنَّهَا فِي هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ الْمُرَادُ بِهَا فَاتِحَةُ الْكِتَابِ، فَإِنَّهُ يَحْتَجُّ بِمَا رُوِّينَا فِيهِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي بَابِ الْفَاتِحَةِ، وَتَفْسِيرُهُ أَوْلَى مِنْ تَفْسِيرِ غَيْرِهِ، وَلِأَنَّ هَذِهِ السُّورَةَ مَكِّيَّةٌ وَالسَّبْعَ الطُّوَلَ نَزَلَتْ بَعْدَهَا "

Concerning His saying: {seven of the oft-repeated (verses)} [al-Ḥijr: 87], he said: "They are the seven long ones, the first ones, and the Great Qurʾān." He said: "It is the rest of the Qurʾān." "So they said. As for those who hold that what is meant in this verse is the Opening of the Book (al-Fātiḥah), they argue with what we have narrated concerning it from the Prophet ﷺ in the chapter on al-Fātiḥah, and his explanation is preferable to the explanation of anyone else; and because this sūrah is Makkan, while the seven long ones were revealed after it."
