أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَوْنٍ ، أَخْبَرَنَا هُشَيْمٌ ، عَنْ عَوْفٍ ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ الْفَارِسِيِّ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ لِعُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ مَا حَمَلَكُمْ أَنْ عَمَدْتُمْ إِلَى بَرَاءَةَ وَهِيَ مِنَ الْمِئِينَ وَإِلَى الْأَنْفَالِ وَهِيَ مِنَ الْمَثَانِي ، فَجَعَلْتُمُوهُمَا فِي السَّبْعِ الطِّوَالِ وَلَمْ تَكْتُبُوا بَيْنَهُمَا سَطْرَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ ؟ قَالَ عُثْمَانُ : " كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِمَّا تَنَزَّلُ عَلَيْهِ الْآيَاتُ فَيَدْعُو بَعْضَ مَنْ كَانَ يَكْتُبُ لَهُ ، وَيَقُولُ لَهُ : ضَعْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ فِي السُّورَةِ الَّتِي يُذْكَرُ فِيهَا كَذَا وَكَذَا ، وَتَنْزِلُ عَلَيْهِ الْآيَةُ وَالْآيَتَانِ ، فَيَقُولُ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ ، وَكَانَتْ الْأَنْفَالُ مِنْ أَوَّلِ مَا أُنْزِلَ عَلَيْهِ بِالْمَدِينَةِ ، وَكَانَتْ بَرَاءَةُ مِنْ آخِرِ مَا نَزَلَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ ، وَكَانَتْ قِصَّتُهَا شَبِيهَةً بِقِصَّتِهَا فَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهَا مِنْهَا ، فَمِنْ هُنَاكَ وَضَعْتُهَا فِي السَّبْعِ الطِّوَالِ وَلَمْ أَكْتُبْ بَيْنَهُمَا سَطْرَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ " .
Narrated Uthman ibn Affan:: Yazid al-Farisi said: I heard Ibn Abbas say: I asked Uthman ibn Affan: What moved you to put the (Surah) al-Baraah which belongs to the mi'in (surahs) (containing one hundred verses) and the (Surah) al-Anfal which belongs to the mathani (Surahs) in the category of as-sab'u at-tiwal (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) al-Anfal is the first surah that was revealed at Madina, and (Surah) al-Baraah was revealed last in the Quran, and its contents were similar to those of al-Anfal. I, therefore, thought that it was a part of al-Anfal. Hence I put them in the category of as-sab'u at-tiwal (the seven lengthy surahs), and I did not write "In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful" between them.

Brief Explanation
1؎: «مئین» refers to those surahs which contain more than one hundred (100) verses.
2؎: «مثانی» are those surahs which are shorter than «مئین».
3؎: By «سبع طوال» is meant Surah al-Baqarah, Aal-e-Imran, an-Nisa, al-Ma'idah, al-An'am, and al-A'raf, and there is a difference of opinion regarding the seventh: one view is that it is al-Anfal and Bara'ah (both together), and another view is that it is Surah Yunus.

Note:
(In the chain of narration, Yazid al-Farisi al-Basri is a maqbul (acceptable) narrator, meaning he is considered reliable when there is corroboration, and here there is no corroboration; therefore, he is considered weak in hadith (lin al-hadith).)
