Hadith 11258

عَنْ وَاثِلَةَ بْنِ الْأَسْقَعِ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ ”أُعْطِيتُ مَكَانَ التَّوْرَاةِ السَّبْعَ وَأُعْطِيتُ مَكَانَ الزَّبُورِ الْمِئِينَ وَأُعْطِيتُ مَكَانَ الْإِنْجِيلِ الْمَثَانِيَ وَفُضِّلْتُ بِالْمُفَصَّلِ“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Wathilah bin Asqa’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: In place of the Torah, I have been given the Seven Long Surahs (Sab’ Tiwal); in place of the Psalms (Zabur), the Mi’in; in place of the Gospel (Injil), the Mathani; and through the detailed Surahs (Mufassal), I have been given superiority over the rest of the Prophets.

Brief Explanation
Benefits: … The chapters (surahs) of the Noble Qur’an are of four types:

(1) Tiwal: There are seven of these—al-Baqarah, Aal Imran, al-Nisa’, al-Ma’idah, al-An’am, al-A’raf, and al-Anfal and al-Bara’ah (Surah al-Anfal and Surah al-Bara’ah) are counted as one.

(2) Al-Mi’in: Those surahs whose verses are more than one hundred or close to that number.

(3) Al-Mathani: Those surahs which come in number after the Mi’in. They are called Mathani because, compared to the Tiwal and Mi’in, they are recited repeatedly.

(4) Al-Mufassal: Their beginning is from Surah Qaf or Surah Hujurat. These are further divided into three sections:
Tiwal Mufassal: From Surah Qaf or Surah Hujurat up to Surah Naba’ or Surah Buruj.
Awsat Mufassal: From Surah Naba’ or Surah Buruj up to Surah Duha or Surah Bayyinah.
Qisar Mufassal: From Surah Duha or Surah Bayyinah to the end of the Qur’an.
