حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ ، عَنْ الْأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ مُسْلِمٍ الْبَطِينِ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، قَالَ : أُوتِيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَبْعًا مِنَ الْمَثَانِي الطُّوَلِ ، وَأُوتِيَ مُوسَى عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام سِتًّا ، فَلَمَّا أَلْقَى الْأَلْوَاحَ رُفِعَتْ ثِنْتَانِ وَبَقِيَ أَرْبَعٌ .
Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was given seven repeated long surahs, while Moses was given six, When he threw the tablets, two of them were withdrawn and four remained.

916. Commentary:
➊ One interpretation of "Sab‘ al-Mathani" is that it refers to the first seven long surahs of the Qur’an, namely: 1. Al-Baqarah, 2. Aal ‘Imran, 3. An-Nisa’, 4. Al-Ma’idah, 5. Al-An‘am, 6. Al-A‘raf, 7. Yunus. And according to one narration, Surah Al-Kahf is included.
➋ The researcher of the book has declared its chain of narration weak, but ‘Allamah Al-Albani rahimahullah has graded it authentic, and Hafiz Ibn Hajar rahimahullah has considered its chain strong. For details, see: [صحیح سنن أبي داود (مفصل) للألباني : 5؍200 ، وفتح الباري : 8؍485 ، تحت حدیث : 4703]
