Narrated Uthman Ibn Affan: :Yazid AlFarisi said: I heard Ibn Abbas say: I asked Uthman Ibn Affan: What moved you to put the Surah AlBaraah which belongs to the miin surahs containing one hundred verses and the Surah AlAnfal which belongs to the mathani Surahs in the category of AlSabu AlTiwal the first long surah or chapters of the Quran ; and you did not write In the name of Allah; the Compassionate; the Merciful between them? Uthman replied: When the verses of the Quran were revealed to the Prophet ﷺ ; he called someone to write them down for him and said to him: Put this verse in the surah in which such and such has been mentioned; and when one or two verses were revealed; he used to say similarly regarding them. Surah AlAnfal is the first surah that was revealed at Medina; and Surah AlBaraah was revealed last in the Quran; and its contents were similar to those of AlAnfal. I; therefore; thought that it was a part of AlAnfal. Hence I put them in the category of AlSabu AlTiwal the seven lengthy surahs ; and I did not write In the name of Allah; the Compassionate; the Merciful between them.
